Tooth Extraction Services in Vejalpur

After a surgical extraction, the dentist may close the gum with a few stitches. Patients from Vejalpur often feel unsure about how to look after them. Stitches help the gum edges come together, protect the clot and support smooth healing.

At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, surgical extractions are carried out under local anaesthesia for impacted or broken teeth. Our dentists explain what type of stitches were placed and when you should return for a review.

Why Stitches Are Placed for Vejalpur Patients

In a surgical extraction, a small opening is made in the gum to reach a buried or broken tooth. Once the tooth is out, stitches hold the gum in place over the socket. This helps the area close neatly and lowers the chance of food getting trapped. Not every extraction needs stitches; simple extractions often heal without them.

Caring for Stitches at Home in Vejalpur

• Leave them alone: Avoid touching or pulling the stitches with your tongue or fingers.
• Eat on the other side: Choose soft food and chew away from the site.
• Brush carefully: Clean the other teeth gently and avoid brushing directly on the stitches at first.
• Skip smoking: Tobacco can slow gum healing around the stitches.

The Stitch Review Visit for Vejalpur Residents

Some stitches dissolve by themselves, while others need to be removed. At the review visit, the dentist checks the gum and removes any stitches that need it, which usually takes only a few minutes. If a stitch comes loose early, do not worry, but call the clinic if bleeding starts again or swelling grows. Our facilities page shows the sterile setup used for surgical care.

Stitches can feel strange at first, and some people notice a thread-like feeling against the tongue. This is normal and becomes less noticeable within a day or two. Avoid chewing gum and sticky food, which can catch on the stitches. If you are unsure whether a stitch is still in place, a quick look in a mirror in good light can help, but do not pull at it.
