I have been worried for a few days that the soluble stitches in my right hand tooth whole had not dissolved. My tongue has been playing with the little bits that were dangling out for a few days, without thinking about it. This evening I noticed the ends were longer, my tongue was playing with the end when the whole twinged. I then played some more, it hurt more, but it's now out. No more stitches. It is a dull ache, but feels nice some how. Hopefully things like yawning will not hurt so much now
