Does it hurt to remove the stitches?

Gingival suture removal is generally not too painful. After a week of gum suture, if the wound has healed well and does not show symptoms of inflammation and bleeding, it is necessary to remove the suture. If not removed in time, it may cause food residue on the suture, and it is very easy to cause bacterial growth, which is easy to cause oral inflammation, causing patients to show mouth ulcers and mouth sores, and also easy to cause periodontitis and gingivitis. Therefore, after the gums are sutured, be sure to maintain oral hygiene and brush your teeth in a timely manner.
