A member asked:
Had tooth extraction/bone graft. was put on 7 day course of amoxicillin.i try to avoid antibiotics! how necessary is it in this case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: Obviously your own dentist thought it appropriate to prescribe antibiotics. With the time and money you invested in this procedure why take a chance on an infection, pain, swelling and loss of the bone graft? It is wise to either follow instructions or discuss the necessity with your own health care professional.
