Whether or not antibiotics are prescribed before wisdom tooth extraction depends on your specific situation and the dentist's assessment. Antibiotics might be prescribed if there's an active infection present, to prevent potential infection, or if you have certain medical conditions that could increase the risk of infection.
Regarding the extraction of a wisdom tooth without any incision, it's possible in some cases. Wisdom teeth that have fully erupted and are not impacted can sometimes be extracted without making an incision. However, if the tooth is impacted (partially or fully submerged in the jawbone or gums), an incision might be necessary to access and remove the tooth.
A loose and bent wisdom tooth could potentially be extracted without incision if it's not impacted. However, it's important to have a professional dentist or oral surgeon assess your situation to determine the best course of action.
It's highly recommended to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon who can examine your wisdom tooth, evaluate its position and condition, and provide personalized advice on whether extraction is needed, if antibiotics are necessary, and what the procedure might entail.
