Hello everyone,
This is my first post but I am a long-time lurker (as many others).
Thanks to you guys I've decided to go visit a dentist after 20 years and it felt very good, at least psychologically.
First visit: 8/23/16 - Discussed my fears and had a general check-up & X-Rays.
#2: 8/25/16 - Cleaning. Removed tartar, plaque, etc. Very little pain.
#3: in < 12 hours - Extraction of an infected/abscessed tooth (very decayed, only a portion of it remaining).
Questions:
A. Is the extraction safe? Considering there's an abscess / infection present and the dentist only prescribed Augmentin 875mg for this morning (so 1 dose before extraction) and suggested we continue this for 5 days after it.
B. Is it true that it will hurt a lot (during the process) and there will be swelling (after) due to that? Note that she will be using local anesthetic.
Thanks a lot everyone, I really appreciate it!
