How long should stitches stay in after a dental implant?
The length of time that sutures remain in place is determined by the amount of healing. In the mouth healing is usually rapid after implant placement and a few days in place should be enough time to remove the sutures if they are made out of silk or nylon. If the suture material is a dissolving type the sutures can dissolve in a day or two or up to 3 weeks, depending on the material ( gut or vicryl. ) your practitioner can guide you about the amount of time that sutures remain in place .

How do you know if you have an infection after oral surgery?
If your surgery was performed when you had an infection, then you would be looking for signs of improvement. In the first 24 hours after surgery, if you already had a prior infection, you may not see a vast improvement and you most probably would be on an antibiotic. There are 5 signs of infection: Redness, swelling, heat, pain, and/or loss of sensation. There may also be throbbing with each beat of your heart. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you should communicate with the surgeon’s office to share your concerns. Dr. Warren Torchinsky READ MORE
Should I extract all my wisdom teeth at once?
The answer to your question is not a simple yes or no. Are you symptomatic? What kind of problems are you having with them? What is your overall health like ? Are they completely impacted, partially impacted or erupted ? Recuperation can be longer if all 4 are removed at the same time. Do you want intravenous sedation, gas or local? Is your overall health good or do you have health conditions that can be affected by the surgery or anesthetics used ? These conditions can be diabetes , respiratory conditions, compromised liver function , bleeding disorders, cardiac conditions, emotional concerns and medications that you may be taking that can impact the surgery. A consultation with an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is needed before the actual surgery to custom fit the treatment plan for your particular situation. Last but not least is the consideration of insurance coverage for the procedure and your ability to pay for what is in your treatment plan . READ MORE
Do I need to remove the cyst in my mouth?
Cysts continue to get larger because their content is saltier than the rest of the fluid in your body. The wall of the cyst is permeable and your body fluid moves into the cyst through the wall to make the cyst content less salty. The cyst presses against bone. Bone dissolves as this pressure is applied. This all happens slowly but could create massive bone loss over time. Some cysts can be due to dental infections but some cysts can be aggressive and can be more serious. You need to consult an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to evaluate and possibly biopsy and treat your situation. READ MORE
