Third Molar Tooth ache
Hi there, I'm suffering severe toothache in my third molar. It was diagnosed last few months ago a candidate for root canal (3 nerves) but was saved by a permanent pasta. After months has passed, another tooth 1-5, was diagnosed a candidate for root canal. I was prescribed with amoxiclav and dolfenal. As soon as I take this, my third molar was the one affected. Should I wait to finish the prescription before extraction?

Hi..... Visit a dentist and extraction is done while you are on the antibiotic course . This antibiotic course may also continue even after the extraction depending upon the tooth condition .

You should consult the dentist immediately. It is advisable to remove the wisdom tooth while you are taking the antibiotic medication
