Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,
A WBC of 20,000 indicates an active infection. Did you take an antibiotic? Are you experiencing any other symptoms? Are there complications with healing? Was the dental procedure difficult? From the information provided, I can only recommend being prescribed an antibiotic and suspect a relationship with your recent dental procedure. Are there additional details that raised concerns to consider taking a CBC?
I am available to answer additional questions and am glad to assist you. Thank you for your inquiry.
