Second Guessing: You are second guessing your dentist, someone who has so much experience in these matters. She does not want to overprescribe antibiotics which over time may result in resistance. You've had a minor surgery and if the extraction was difficult then pain is expected. Has she seen you post-operatively? You may have a dry socket.
