Hi arthurajm,

It can be normal to have a tight feeling in a surgical area after the stitches come out. This is usually do to some inflammation. The concerns are..... is there any swelling, fever and/or pain? If the answer is no to all of those things then it could be that you have some plaque accumulated in that area which could be irritating the gum tissue. Have you been rinsing several times a day with warm salt water? It is imperative to do this rinsing at least 4 times a day, especially before you go to sleep at night for at least 4 weeks to keep the surgical sites clean.

Did this information help you or do you still have unanswered concerns?
