A member asked:
What do you suggest if my stiches (oral surgery) are disolving after 6 days, is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sutures: Many dentists use resorbable or self dissolving sutures. Most dentists like to see their patients for post op checks about a week after surgery. It is part of routine aftercare.
