A member asked:
Wisdom teeth stitches removed. 1 side closed, 1 side completely open. should we call dentist to restitch or will he laugh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing: By all means call the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon who did your surgery. That practitioner has evaluated you at suture removal, and will have a much more personalized answer for you. He/she is the best person to address your concerns, and will not laugh at you. You have something that is concerning you, and he/she will want to assuage your concerns.
