Question

One of my wisdom teeth stitches just tore out!? I just got my top wisdom teeth taken out 4 days and just now i was being stupid and i accidentally tore one of the stitches out it is 11:30 and i cant call the dentist, is it going to be ok? What should i do because i dont want to bleed to death or have a screwed up mouth!?

Answer 1

Relax... Your mouth does not have the vasculature that would allow you to bleed out. By this time some healing should have formed but it would still be a raw wound. The best thing you should do is press gauze on the wound, as well as put some alcohol, just to keep out infection. Just see your doctor in the morning. 

Your mouth if anything should be fine.
