A member asked:

3 molar extractions on 19march. stitches due to be removed yesterday, now i am suppose to wait another 12 days to go in, if lock down ends. they have started to become irritated. dentist says only open for emergencies & told me to wait. is it safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Action needed: Those stitches need to come out if they weren't the resorbable type. Contact the dentist/oral surgeon directly who placed them. Doctors have a special obligation to take care of patients they're actively treating. Don't be put off by recorded messages.
