Usually, You are asked to take a double dose for Your first dose but that depends on whether or not You were given an antibiotic injection at the Dr's. office. Normally, You will feel relief within 24 hours depending on Your total dosage and the severity of Your Infection. Be sure to follow Your Dentists' instructions carefully because You will feel so much better that You may think You don't need another visit and that all Your problems are solved, Your relief at being pain free will be short lived if the underlying cause of the infection is not addressed. Most Dentists' will kill the infection before fixing or pulling the tooth and that is to protect You from experiencing more pain after the tooth repair/extraction.

Yes Ceftin will treat a sinus infection. It is generally used for tougher infections and has a very bitter taste to it. If you coat it in honey and drink with a flavored drink the taste will be muted. If you have a child you can give them chocolate milk with it and they won't taste it either.

What does warm water and salt after a tooth pulled?

Osmotic pressure draws fluids OUT, toward the salt solution. As long as you keep pulling any possible infection that way, you'll have less chance of problems. Osmotic pressure on an infectious bacteria also weakens the bacteria's ability to reproduce and spread the infection. Salt water is a low-tech, highly effective way to control infection in a tooth extraction.


Can an infected socket cause the adjoining tooth to be loose?

An infected socket has a potential of bone loss, if the infection persists for too long. Presence of socket means that a tooth has been extracted out recently. Normally this socket should be filled with regrowth of bone with passage of time, but if it gets infected, there is no bone deposition until infection resides. And if infection persists, the acidic medium caused by pus starts dissolving the surrounding bone tissues as well. Result will be... an adjoining tooth becomes loose!!!!
