A member asked:
Am i supposed to pull my stitches out of wisdom tooth socket if they poke out?

Probably Not: Depends on whether they are stitches that dissolve on their own and how long it has been since the surgery. If it's been over 14 days, you may be able to remove them, but ask your dentist.

Not ususally: If they are resorbable sutures they should come out on their own. If they are a problem, you could carefully remove it with a tweezer, but consult your dentist.
