A member asked:
Are antibiotics ever prescribed after wisdom teeth removal? if so, for all patients or just those with special health concerns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Decision as to whether antibiotics are necessary is made by the treating Oral Surgeon after evaluating your medical history, the type of extractions to be done, and a number of other considerations based on your problem's presentation. Discuss need for antibiotics with your Oral Surgeon.
