I had my wisdom teeth removed five days ago now. My upper left and lower left stitches have dissolved and fallen out, however; my lower left wisdom was removed, along with my second molar. Now, I have noticed there is a decent gap there, and it looks like the stitch is through the gap, just..not holding the gap shut. Im planning on calling my dentist in the morning, but I dont what when theyll be able to get me in. Is this a major concern?
Hello Fairbanks for your query. First be relaxed, I will be most happy if I could help you out so no need to worry much. According to your description, it seems that the suture (stitch) of the lower left side has broken. But since the extraction was done 5 days back. There should not be much problem from this if you are otherwise healthy. But I advise you to get an appointment with your dentist so that he can check the healing of the extraction socket. Hope this would help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask any time. Hoping for your best healthThank you Take disregards
