A member asked:
I had a back molar extracted yesterday should i be on antibiotics after an extraction?

Extraction: This is a decision for your treating dental surgeon to make, not someone who doesn't know you. There are protocols to be followed when making the decision as to whether antibiotics are required. Pose this question to your surgeon.
