After having teeth pulled, and having stitches coming out?

I just got four teeth pulled 7 days ago, they had to stiche the bottom wisdom teeth, the other day to make a long story short, the stiche came out easily and no pain at all when i pulled on it, because it was barely in. Today i felt the same thing in the back of my mouth so I went to do the same as before, and it hurt and i could feel it pull on my gum. now it hurts alittle bit, very uncomfortable too having it back there. I do have the desolveable ones in.


My question, is this safe? How long do stiches normally stay in, (and yes i do smoke) but i try to be carefull most the time and not suck to hard, obviously not doing it soft enought though because it has caused the stiches to come out.


So will my teeth be okay, should i go back to the dentist or just let it gradually desolve from the position it is in right now? and how do i know if i have a dry socket? I feel no pain and havent, but what would it start to look like? Please help, my dentist is closed today! thankyou

I had my wisdom teeth pulled last Monday. The doctor%26#039;s said my stitches will dissolve on they own. My paper work said no smoking for 7 days and to eat soft foods. If you feel any pain then either take the prescribed pain meds or take 2 Aleve%26#039;s
Reply:Go to Doctor, dont waste your time.
Reply:any suction will irritate the area. contact your dentist who you saw and consult with them. even though the office may be clsed, they will usually have an emergency number that will direct you which way to go or put you in contact with someone who can help.
Reply:Usually the dentist will have you back after a week to check the area and take out the stitches. It is not uncommon for a stitch to pop out before that.. If you are not having any pain it should be fine but you should go back for the check. You should not be charged for that appt. Dry sockets hurt alot! You would know if you had one.
