Rating of the best antibiotics after tooth extraction for 2022

One of the common procedures in dentistry, in addition to fillings, cleaning stones, is tooth extraction or extraction. This happens only when the tooth becomes completely unusable, and its stay in the oral cavity is fraught with possible complications. Only the doctor makes the final decision regarding the future fate of the tooth. Surgical intervention occurs if periodontitis has developed, and the dental unit has become very mobile, with a purulent-inflammatory process, constant intense pain, and the inability to carry out its further medical treatment.

Need for antibiotics

The list of such cases is not exhaustive. After tooth extraction, different situations may arise: the resulting hole may become inflamed, poorly overgrown, infection and complications are possible. In order to avoid the appearance of negative consequences, it is necessary to take antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor.

Do not think that this therapy is mandatory for absolutely all patients. As a rule, if you are a professional in their field and the operation was successful, in addition, you are a completely healthy and strong person, then taking medication is not necessary. The doctor will observe the wound healing process in dynamics for some time and, if inflammation is detected, will prescribe antibiotics. This may not happen immediately, but after a certain period of time. As a rule, the need arises if the dentist detects redness, the presence of pus in the fossa, and swelling of the mucosa.

Who Should Avoid Antibiotics?

It is mandatory to take medicines in the following cases:

1. After an unscheduled tooth extraction, when the inflammatory process has become acute, and treatment is no longer possible (for example, a large cyst has formed at the root).
2. Removal of a wisdom tooth with a complex structure (winding and branched roots).If during the surgical intervention it was necessary to crush the jaw, cut the gum or get the root in pieces, and then sutured, then it is necessary to drink antibiotics.
3. When the patient is elderly. In older people, the immune system is weakened, so the doctor prescribes medications so that an inflammatory process does not occur during prolonged tissue regeneration.
4. In the presence of diseased teeth located in close proximity to the remote.
5. Due to inflammation of the gums, periodontitis, gingivitis.
6. If the patient has hypertension, diabetes, poor blood clotting.
7. If during the operation there was severe bleeding due to a cut in the gums, the walls of the hole.

According to statistics, only 38% of patients experience complications after surgery, the rest do without antibiotics.

Consequences of not taking this medicine

It is worth noting that the decision to take an antibiotic is made solely by the doctor. And it’s up to the patient to listen to his recommendations or ignore good advice. But before you make the right decision, you should think about the consequences of "disobedience." What can be expressed?

Possible options	What will lead
A protective clot has not formed in the fossa	May occur due to poor blood clotting or a weakened immune system. A “dry” hole leads to a complication of alveolitis, which is accompanied by the penetration of pathogenic bacteria into an unprotected hole, followed by the onset of an inflammatory process and suppuration. A person will begin to feel acute pain, swelling will appear, general malaise, the temperature will rise.
Unsuccessful surgery and the presence of untreated teeth	The resulting inflammation can affect the jawbone, leading to osteomyelitis. This purulent disease can quickly spread to other organs, resulting in sepsis. If the disease is started, then it is fraught with a fatal outcome. Periostitis may also develop.

Therefore, before abandoning antibiotic therapy, it is worth weighing all the pros and cons. If you allow the occurrence of complications, you will have to be treated for a long time, while spending significant money and experiencing constant strong pain.

How to choose

In most cases, the doctor prescribes a certain medication, depending on its functionality. There are several selection criteria:

• the patient's condition;
• his age category;
• financial condition;
• indications.

There is currently no shortage of medicines. The best manufacturers offer both long-proven complexes and new products. Which company is better, the dentist will tell, based on the rating of quality goods. The best products don't come cheap. As a rule, a list of medicines, both inexpensive and at a significant price, is provided to a person to choose from.

Which product is better to buy depends on the preferences and capabilities of the patient. Many, before making a purchase, make an overview of possible options, determine what drugs in this area are in general, carefully study the characteristics and contraindications, reviews.

What should you pay attention to in order not to make mistakes when choosing? According to buyers, the average price and popularity of the manufacturer is not always important. The main thing is the ability of medicines to achieve the desired result and the presence of individual intolerance.To take precautions, choose the right option for purchasing antibacterial products. Give preference to public or private pharmacies with a proven range.

If, when asked where to buy the necessary complex, you have chosen an online store and want to order it online in order to save money, then you need to remember the disadvantages of this method of purchase.

But there is a possibility of getting a postoperative inflammatory process. To avoid it, the doctor prescribes antibiotics.This will make it possible to suppress residual pathogenic bacteria, avoid purulent discharge, fever, and so on.

There is no single rule for prescribing medicines. The dentist selects medications depending on the age of the patient, his condition, the presence or absence of chronic diseases. Self-medication must be discarded immediately. Antibiotics should only be prescribed by a doctor to avoid side effects.

There are certain contraindications that you need to be aware of. The dentist must first find out from a person if there are any individual contraindications. If there are problems with the work of the gastrointestinal tract, sparing medications are prescribed. Sometimes it becomes necessary to administer an antibacterial drug before the operation, so that there is no need to take it later.

If the patient is constantly taking other medications, then this information must be conveyed to the doctor without fail so as not to cause irreparable harm to the body. In the absence of contraindications, antibiotics must be taken without fail if they are prescribed by a doctor.
