I went to see the dentist on Tuesday and he removed my tooth, however when the anesthesia wore off a small part of my tongue turn pink then I notice a little white thing on it I think its stitches if it is how  long before stitches on your tongue dissolve? If not should I be worry ?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It looks that while removal of the tooth, there might be a trauma on the tongue, that is why it was red earlier, and as it is healing it is turning white. As the tongue has a very good blood supply, the lesion will heal within 10 days, so there is nothing to worry about it. Hope it will help you.
