Sometimes the dissolvable stitches takes longer to dissolve. If it is external and accessible, just cut it and remove it. Deep sutures can be left and will eventually dissolve. If it causes recurrent problems with infection, the wound can be explored and stitches removed.

What if they forgot to remove a stitch from a wisdom teeth extraction?

Hi, It depends on what type of stitches your surgeon has used. Most surgeons use disolvable threads, I had mine which was a normal thread hence it dissolved on its own. So nothing to worry... if you still see stitches after two weeks its best to have em removed by the same surgeon. Normally your surgeon will recommend removal during one of your post surgical visits. Good Luck..! CD PS Dont forget to visit your surgeon once in three days for dressing. it pays..
