Why stitches for tooth extraction

In fact, tooth extraction is not as scary as you might think, no sutures are needed for tooth extraction, only when wisdom teeth are extracted, fully erupted wisdom teeth or slightly inclined wisdom teeth, these wisdom teeth also do not need sutures when extracted, because such wisdom teeth are basically fully grown out and can be extracted through general techniques. Only fully buried wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth with only a small part of the tooth exposed, or wisdom teeth with only a small tip exposed, are buried mostly in the gums and it is difficult to grasp the specific situation of the tooth in the buried part, so the gums need to be cut open to facilitate the extraction of the wisdom teeth. After the incision, sutures are required and usually do not need to be removed, as the sutures used today are self-absorbing.
