How long should dissolvable stitches take to dissolve? On one website
I read it said 7-10 days?!..

I had my lower two wisdom tooth removed over a month ago and on one
side I've been getting a lot of soreness these last few days. When I
feel with my tounge it feels like a little bit of stitching is still
there sticking out.

Is this ok?

Thanks in advance

Get your surgeon to check it.

Can you teweeze it out? You'll probably find that on one side there's a
knot and on the other, it can be pulled all the way out.Try that and see
if you can do it.
