Stitches

How long does it take for stitches to dissolve after a Maxillary Frenectomy?

I had the procedure done on Monday June 8th, and two of the three stitches dissolved. At least I think they did, since they aren't there anymore. I'm just nervous because I've had stitches before but never the dis solvable kind. Is it normal for them to dissolve after just three days? My dentist said a few days but was never specific. Just trying to calm my nerves a little. Any help?

  1. Yeah that's okay, when they fall out they are ready to fall out :) Unless you have physically ripped them out, you are good to go :)
