Just on the stitches qn - I had dissolvable ones and they started appearing and falling out after about 7 days......still finding them after 10 days though...some obviously had a hard time leaving home
I had dissolvable stitches in several extraction holes. They started falling out around 9 days. I still had a few little threads in my gums by 12-14 days. THe oral surgeon took some of those out at my 2 week checkup.
They were not even in my gum tissue,it looked more like floss that was was very loose .
