Stitch came out of wisdom tooth extraction?

I had my right wisdom tooth taken out on friday. it is now monday and i was brushing my teeth as directed and when i went to spit a stitch came out. There is a gap and a persistant odor coming from the site. I have swelling and little to no pain. Oh and there is no bleeding.Can this become dry socket? is it normal? what should i do besides contact my dentist?

They will dissolve on their own however, 3 days is too soon to come out. Its unusual that it would come out- did you drink out of a straw or chew gum or taffy? The smell is bacteria and the start of an infection and yes it can become a dry socket. Call the surgeon and they'll get you right in to restitch the area. Good luck.
