yesterday i went for my follow-up with the oral surgeon. everything seems to be fine. all the stitches came out on their own. they gave me a little syringe like thing to put mouthwash/salt water in to clean out the holes that were left. apparently those will take another 2-3 weeks to close up. joy. i'm not even going to discuss the nastiness factor. i'm sure you can all imagine. blech.
When I had my wisdom teeth out that little syringe thing was my total best friend. As nasty as it sounds, by the time they gave it to me I was DYING to have some way to clean out those holes. And squirting that cool clean water back there just made my mouth feel nice.
