I had my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago and the sutures on one side hurt.

Extraction Pain: After a week you should for the most part be healed, but without knowing if this was a surgical extraction with a soft tissue flap and bone removal, it's hard to say. Best bet is to call the oral surgeon who treated you.
