Don't know what i cocked on there was nothing in my moth but it was bad and i got 4 teeth pulled 2 week ago what is it was the stitches should disolve?

Stitches: Not all are dissolvable. If you are concerned, call your Oral Surgeon and check how long the stitches should last. you will also have to see your General Dentist to make arrangements to replace the teeth that had to be extracted.
