After wisdom teeth extraction, understanding the healing process is crucial. Stitches typically dissolve within one to two weeks. However, this can vary based on factors such as:
- Type of Stitches: Dissolvable stitches generally take about 7-10 days, while others might last up to 14 days.
- Individual Healing Rates: Personal recovery speed can affect stitch absorption time.
- Care and Hygiene: Proper oral care accelerates the dissolving process.
If stitches remain longer or cause discomfort, consult your dentist for guidance. This ensures a smooth and pain-free recovery from wisdom teeth removal.
