A member asked:
I just had 27 teeth removed 10 days ago and a stitches are coming out on their own because they are the dissolving stitches. well i have a flap of gum tissue in my front that is loose and no pain. is it normal for that?

Post op healing: This can happen from time to time, especially with so many extractions so close to one another. It will take a bit more time and the flap most likely will even out.

Tissue flap: It should be reevaluated, so make an appointment to return for the post-surgical care that is part of your overall treatment. Probably nothing to worry about, but best to make sure.
