Wisdom teeth and stitches!

Question

how long does it take for the stitches to come off?

i got my wisdom teeth pulled a week ago and i still have them.

also i get this coppery taste in my mouth, and the side of my cheek feels like it got cut also, is that normal?

Answer 1

The stitches will disappear in no time. Mine took about a week. Give it a couple more days and they should be gone. If not call the oral surgeon. Coppery taste is normal, yes. My cheeks also felt that way. No worries. Hang in there ! :]
