why are dental stitches used

Why Are Stitches Used?

Dental stitches (or sutures) help tissues heal by keeping the surgical area secure after procedures like tooth extractions, gum surgeries, or implant placements. They:
– Prevent bleeding by holding gum tissue in place
– Reduce the risk of infection
– Aid in faster, more stable healing

What to Expect During the Removal

We’ll walk you through what happens when we remove your stitches, how it feels, and how to look after the area afterwards.

Initial Assessment

We’ll inspect the healing area to ensure everything looks healthy and to confirm it’s the right time to remove your stitches.

Gentle Removal

Using sterile tools, our dentist or hygienist will carefully snip and extract each suture. Most patients feel minimal to no discomfort.

Post-Removal Care

We’ll clean the area and provide aftercare tips, such as saltwater rinses and advice on brushing or flossing near the healing site.

When Should You Get Stitches Removed?

Most dental stitches dissolve on their own, but certain types need to be taken out by a professional. Your dentist or oral surgeon will typically advise you on the appropriate timeframe, often ranging from 7 to 14 days post-procedure. If you’re unsure, it’s best to call us for guidance—waiting too long can increase the risk of infection or cause gum irritation.
