Doctors recommend avoiding swimming while you have stitches. You should wait until the wound has healed and the stitches are removed.
Some stitches are resolvable , it's just depended on what kind the dentist use. Also if the dentist use the other kind , yes you have to get them removed
nonabsorbable sutures have to be removed
Sutures are removed three to 14 days after the repair is completed.
If stitches have been placed, they should be kept clean and dry until removed. Stitches are usually removed five to 10 days after the biopsy. Sometimes the patient is instructed to put protective ointment on the stitches before showering.
24 hours
They are basting stitches which can easily be taken out at a later time. they are longer than the normal stitches
Until the doctor tells you they can be removed. They will inform you of this fact when you get the stitches. If you weren't listening, call their office and they will let you know.
Usually 10 to 14 days.
