Sutures usually need to be removed after wisdom teeth extraction, but if absorbable sutures are used, they can be left in place.
1. After wisdom teeth extraction the doctor will choose to suture the wound depending on the condition of the wound. If there are sutures, it is generally recommended to remove them after one week. Of course, the sutures used in clinical practice are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable sutures.
2. Non-absorbable sutures must be removed, if not removed for a long time, the wound will produce rejection, which will affect the healing of the wound. Absorbable sutures are mostly intestinal sutures, which can be absorbed and not removed when you can’t get to the hospital in time, but it takes a longer time for complete absorption, and it is generally recommended to remove them after one week.
Specific post-extraction precautions are recommended to consult the doctor.
