Stitches after wisdom tooth extraction are generally recommended to be removed about one week after surgery. As a more invasive tooth extraction in oral alveolar surgery, the removal of stitches after surgery often requires attention because the extraction process often involves cutting and flipping the flap. It is best to consult with the surgeon who removed the tooth first to determine whether and when the sutures should be removed. The doctor is the most knowledgeable about the patient’s condition and individual differences. There are various types of sutures available in the clinic, for example, there are many absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed clinically. There are some special absorbable sutures that are absorbed into our soft tissues in 5 to 6 days after suturing, so there is no need to remove these sutures. However, if the sutures applied are our commonly used mousse sutures, which cannot be absorbed, it is indeed recommended to remove them, and in general, they can be considered to be removed after more than 5 days in the oral cavity for adults. Even if the sutures are removed late after tooth extraction, clinically there is usually no greater risk and most of them will fall off automatically as the patient chews and are discharged by the patient’s digestive tract.
