Eleven infected teeth sched to be pulled tues. antibiotics didn't work on infection. is it safe to pull teeth that are still quite infected?

Infected teeth: The answer to your question would be best answered by the dentist removing your teeth. He\she knows your complete medical and dental history and is responsible for your care. Personally, i prefer to have infected teeth removed asap! the fact that you have been on antibiotics should suffice even if the infection is not complete gone, which oftentimes is the case anyway. Speak to your own dentist.
