Benefits

Stitch removal in a dental office is a short and simple procedure in which a dentist or dental hygienist removes stitches (sutures) from a patient’s mouth after a previous surgical procedure (for example, after a tooth extraction, implantation or other surgical treatment).

  • Checking the proper healing of the surgical wound
  • Preventing inflammation and irritation at the suture site
  • Reducing the risk of infection or premature rupture of the sutures
  • Reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease through better hygiene
  • Quick, gentle and mostly completely painless
  • Increased comfort when talking and eating

How are stitches removed

1./ Arranging a date

After surgery, your dentist will schedule a check-up and suture removal appointment – usually 7 to 14 days after treatment.

2./ Checking the healing site

The dentist or dental hygienist will check to see if the wound is healing properly and if it is time to remove the stitches.

3./ Removal of stitches

Using sterile instruments (tweezers and scissors), the sutures are gently cut and removed. The procedure is quick and usually painless.

4./ Disinfection and recommendations

After the stitches are removed, the dentist will disinfect the wound. He or she will also provide you with instructions for home care and further treatment, if necessary.

Don’t neglect the final step of treatment. Timely and proper suture removal promotes smooth healing and a speedy recovery.
