Tooth removal
I had infection in upper wisdom tooth.
Doc did first sitting of RCT on Tuesday and gave antibiotic for 5 days.
During the second RCT sitting on Saturday he told that tooth needs to get extracted as there is too much infection.
He removed the wisdom tooth and did not prescribe any antibiotic.
Though I had completed my 5 day course of antibiotic ( Tuesday to Saturday).
Will my wound heal on its own as I took my last dose of antibiotic on the day of tooth removal itself?
As you have already completed your antibiotic course, there is not further need for it. Just continie with the painkiller that has been prescribed by your dentist.
