This is the signs of healing and the antibiotics are to protect you from infection. Go back to dentist in another few days for exam to see how healing is doing. Stop vaping now if you expect to keep your remaining teeth. With so many teeth extracted you now need them replaced.

The number of mg in a therapeutic dose varies from antibiotic to antibiotic. Important that you take all of the pills exactly as directed until ALL are taken. Vaping will interfere with healing, prolonging healing time.
