A member asked:
One of my dissolvable stitches in my mouth is causing me a lot of pain and isn't dissolving. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See the dentist: Resorbable sutures sutures last 1-3 weeks. Some pain or discomfort at the site of the surgery may last for 5 to 10 days. The amount of discomfort is different from one person to another and from one procedure to another. See the dentist who performed oral surgery for evaluation of the cause of your pain.
