Wisdom Tooth Stitch Removal: What to Expect & Pain Levels

It typically does not hurt when having stitches removed after wisdom teeth extraction, but it may cause some discomfort. The stitches are usually dissolvable, so they do not need to be physically removed. However, if the stitches are not dissolvable, they will need to be removed by a dentist or oral surgeon. The process of removing the stitches is quick and relatively painless, and it can be completed in a few minutes.
