Whether stitches are necessary after a wisdom tooth extraction depends on the complexity of the procedure and the surgeon's preference. In many cases, especially for straightforward extractions, stitches may not be required, as the gum can heal naturally. However, if the extraction involves removing impacted teeth or if there is significant tissue loss, sutures may be used to promote healing and minimize complications. Your dentist or oral surgeon will provide guidance based on your specific situation.
