Not necessarily...: If you have no pain nor bleeding then don't worry. Continue to rinse with warm salt water several times a day after each meal to keep the area clean for another 4 to 7 days. However, if you have pain or discomfort then call your dentist.

No worries: If the stitches do fall out and there’s no bleeding not to worry.
