Can I get my lower wisdom tooth extracted now, even though I still have pain and swelling after taking two courses of Augmentin 625 and Combiflam?

Asked by Female, 56 · 5 days ago

Generally, dentists prefer to wait until active swelling and infection subside before extracting a tooth, as swelling can make anesthesia less effective and increase the risk of spreading the infection. Since the amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) and ibuprofen/paracetamol (Combiflam) haven't fully cleared the inflammation, please consult your dentist promptly. They need to evaluate why the infection persists?there might be an abscess that needs drainage or a different treatment approach before a safe extraction can proceed.
