16 wks pregnant.wisdom teeth pain.doc prescribed 500mg amoxicilin 3 times a day for only 7 days,but my tooth extraction is after 14 days. ok and safe?

Yes: You should be fine. The 7 day course is typical. The infection will be much reduced which will make the extraction more predictable .Amoxicillin is safe for your baby and avoiding a severe infection by getting the bad tooth removed is important.

Very common: If you have a condition that puts you at high risk for developing a severe infection, you may need to take antibiotics before and after the extraction. Amoxicillin is the drug of choice for 7-10 days.
