Hi
Tab Augmentin 625 is an antibiotic taken twice daily for 3-5days ,that is given for any active infection arising from the tooth. Tab Flagyl is also an antibiotic taken to treat bacterial infection . So you can take either Augmentin or Flagyl . Tab Flexon is a painkiller which can also be taken and Tab Rapeed D is for gastric acidity which has to be taken half an hour before food .
Before any surgical procedure like extraction or so every patient is advices to get blood test done to see if your blood coagulates normally and a count of all blood cells. X-ray before extraction is always adviced for location and position of the tooth in the jaw, the number of roots and whether they are curved, fractured or fused to the bone influence the type of extraction procedure chosen to remove a tooth.
Take care
