Have an oral surgeon look at your tongue for possible infection and delayed healing. Possible intervention may be needed along with dissolvable sutures.

A member asked:
Oral surgery. Are dissolvable stitches easily visible a few hours of removing gauzes of third molar extractions. I can't see them. I only see dark red where the cuts where made. I assume the stitches are under the "drying" blood above the stitches?
