Are stitches resolvable or do they have to be removed after having wisdom teeth removed?

Stitches used after wisdom teeth removal are usually dissolvable. These stitches will gradually break down over time and do not need to be removed. However, in some cases, non-dissolvable stitches may be used. These stitches will need to be removed by a dentist or oral surgeon after a period of 7 to 10 days. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon regarding the care of your stitches and any necessary follow-up appointments.
