How Long Antibiotics Should Be Taken After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Hi. I just had my wisdom teeth removed. The prescribed antibiotics (3pills a day for 3days) has finished. Do I go get another? There's still a hole in my gum and I really don't want an infection but I also don't want to become resistant? What do I do?
You should always take your antibiotics after a dental procedure. It is the only way to prevent any bacteria from adhering and/or infection from occuring.
