Try to keep your stitches (sutures) dry for at least 48 hours after surgery. Your healthcare professional will tell you when you can get your stitches wet or if they need to be kept dry. This may depend on what kind of wound and dressing you have.
Anywhere from 5-10 days. Be patient. It usually varies on types of suture but in general, if your stitches are dissolvable, they should start to break down within four weeks. When I had gum surgery, my surgeon advised me to continue taking salt water rinses, especially after eating, until those stitches got dissolve.
