Tooth pulled, bone grafting and stitching. 1 week post-op.

Question

I had a tooth pulled last Monday (today is Saturday) and also bone grafting. The dentist put in stitches and the stitch has come undone and out of my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about or is that normal

Sean Mohtashami, DDS · Answer

Hello!
There could be two reasons the stitch fell out, either you have healed rapidly and it's fallen out on its own or the stitch has come undone. To be on the safe side, I would call your dentist and have them examine the area. 
Good luck!
