As soon as I got home from the dentist I went straight to bed and slept for about 6 hours. When I got up the gauze was still there. it hurt a little to remove it because it was dried out, so maybe if you put a little water on it to loosen it it should be fine. I was still fine it didnt cause any problems just a little pain in removing it because it was dry.
