Non dissolvable stitches in mouth

Tooth extractions are minimally invasive; however, they do involve cuts on gums which are later sewn on with the help of stitches.

You must be careful after tooth removal surgeries and take care of many aspects of healing, especially dissolvable stitches, to ensure they are not hanging loose.

Why Are My Dissolvable Stitches Hanging Loose?
Dental dissolvable stitches are brittle and not sturdy at all and can easily suffer from damage.

Mostly, if your stitches are hanging loose, you can take it as a positive sign that the extraction site is near complete healing.

But that is not always the case.

What do dissolvable stitches look like when they fall out

Here are some flip sides of the situation.

You are Talking Too Much 
Excessive movement whale talking involves the tongue and jaw, which puts stress and pressure on the stitches to loosen or come undone.

The Suture Used Is Too Long 
This is not such a major problem and is easily solvable.

Your dentist may use a suture longer than you need. So, if they start hanging out before dissolving, go to the dentist
