A tooth that grows in adulthood is called wisdom tooth. Because it grows in adulthood, it is also called wisdom tooth. However, this wisdom tooth is easy to cause oral diseases such as toothache, and it needs tooth extraction treatment in severe cases. So, do you need stitches to remove maxillary wisdom teeth?

1. Whether maxillary wisdom teeth need to be sutured depends on the specific growth of wisdom teeth. Although it is the latest tooth in adulthood, there will be various variations in shape and position, so the surgical methods used to extract wisdom teeth will be different.

2. If the maxillary wisdom teeth erupt in the same shape and position as other teeth, and are in a completely exposed normal state, but there is recurrent pericoronitis, such wisdom teeth need to be pulled out, and there is no need to sew needles after pulling out.

3. If wisdom teeth erupt at a low position, especially horizontal wisdom teeth, they will be completely buried in the gums. For this kind of maxillary wisdom tooth, the gingiva should be cut first, and then it should be removed after the whole wisdom tooth is completely exposed.

4. Because the gingival incision area is large, it is necessary to reset the gingiva and sew the incision tightly after tooth extraction, so this maxillary wisdom tooth needs to be stitched after tooth extraction. And do a good job in postoperative care of tooth extraction and suture to avoid infection.
