Follow the prescription given to you by the dentist.

Antibiotics: Don't take old pills that you have lying around the house. Depending on the extent of the surgery and the presence or absence of pre-surgical infection, the Dentist or Oral Surgeon may make very specific antibiotic recommendations. Important that you take all of the prescribed pills, exactly as prescribed, until all are gone. Sometimes a 2nd course is required. Ask your treating practitioner.
