Incorrect treatment: The problem is the wisdom tooth, the correct solution is extraction!

See oral surgeon: Taking antibiotics will not solve your problem. The tooth appears to need extraction.

DO NOT!: Do not self medicate. Medication dosage, frequency, and duration have to be carefully monitored. Meds will not "cure" an impacted tooth, may need removal. Please see Oral Surgeon ASAP.
