Hi capricornlibragorl,

I can only speak from my own experience but years ago I had my 2 lower wisdom teeth pulled. Everything seemed fine afterwards, I had the stitches out (assuming they got them all) but then I began having pain in one of the areas.

A trip back to the oral surgeon revealed that there were one or two stitches they'd missed. They may have been concealed by the swollen gum tissue at the time and popped out later.

When they removed those stitches, the problem was solved.

I hope your problem can be solved easily too.
