Tell surgeon : You have been given antibiotics to help your body's immune system fight the infection. Your body might have been able to fight the infection without the aid of antibiotic but not always. Let the surgeon know so he can evaluate the need to take the antibiotic before surgery or after the surgery.

Pre Op Instructions: Good day; Speak with the DDS/ surgeon who is removing the wisdom tooth tomorrow. However, probably good to have good level of amoxicillin in body pre extraction.
