Is It Normal to See the Knot From My Dissolvable Stitch After Having My Wisdom Tooth Extracted?

August 7, 2012
Asked By:mchisholms

I am only 1 week post-op and all seems to be healing well, but I've had a constant ache in a localized spot. I took a closer look at the area today and noticed a knot from the dissolvable sutures was causing an irritation. Will this just go away or should I try and pull on the knot or cut it?
