Depends......: If they were simple and easy removal, then as soon as the stitches are removed. (usually in 7 - 10 days). If they were difficult, impacted teeth, then you may need to wait a few weeks until the areas close over with initial healing, you do not want to disrupt the clot and develop a dry socket. If unsure, you could call the general dentist or oral surgeon who removed them.
