  • No worries! That does sound frustrating. And recovering from extractions is painful.

    As I understand it, the antibiotics are mainly because mouths are full of bacteria. You don’t want bacteria breeding in the extraction site and turning into an infection. If your surgeon gave instructions for rinsing with warm salt water, that can keep bacteria from growing there too. Just make sure to be gentle until it starts to heal more.
