    Question:

    Hello

    I have 14 days long ago been up and throw out my wisdom tooth in the mouth. Here, my dentist said that the stitches would disappear by itself. I mindst elsewhere, that it is normal to have them removed within a week, since otherwise the thread can get to grow together with the meat.
    Now I'm starting to get a bit worried when my stitches are not yet disappeared and formed white splotches on. Is this normal, should I get them removed as soon as possible, or should I just wait until the stitches disappear?

    Answer:

    Dear Tina,

    You should consult your dentist. There are several kinds of thread otherwise you can use to sew with, some of them may indeed disappear by themselves, where others require the dentist to remove them.

    Hope you can use my answer.

    Sincerely

    Dentist Joan Olsen

    Removed wisdom, but not the stitch?

    Question:

    Hello Dentistry Correspondence,
    I had surgery a wisdom tooth out today, there was almost horizontal in the jaw on the right side. I have not particularly bad, I can chew and speak without problems, but is very sore up under the jaw, even when I turn my head. I guess what you can expect after an intervention, but I've read other people's spots, and it seems like they have all been made? I'm not - it bleeds a lot, if I sneeze or span my stomach muscles and there is a large black hole down the right side of my lower mouth. Is it necessary to be made after such an operation for a little nervous on the consumption of eg colas, as I have a close relationship with (I am familiar with syreskader, so it is not part of my question) but is there any kind of food or beverages at any time may not come into the open crater?

    Sincerely Cæcilie

    Answer:

    Dear Cecilia

    It is very common that you will be made after an operation. But your dentist has probably judged that it might. was not necessary in your case. You should visit the dentist again if you are worried. But you must like to drink Cola :)

    Hope you can use my answer.

    Sincerely

    Huge hole after wisdom tooth removal

    25th November 2009
    Filed of the mouth

    Question:

    Hello
    I've just been to the dental school in Copenhagen where I had removed the lower wisdom tooth due to inflammation. I got my stitches removed 4 days ago and have not seen the scale before now that I was very shocked that there was a huge hole. It is so deep that I would argue that by could easily get stuck into the hole. Is this normal? The hole is not only a depression but a real hole, as if the tooth has just been removed.

    Greetings Mia

    Answer:

    Dear Mia,

    Yes it is normal. It will eventually disappear altogether, in that the gums and the bone heals. But there has certainly been a lack of communication from your processor's side since you are better informed of the progress. But you're always welcome to apply again at dental school, if there are any problems.

    Hope you can use my answer.

    Sincerely

    Dentist Joan Olsen
