It will be necessary to rest for a while after general anaesthesia or sedation. The jaw may feel stiff and sore, but painkillers will help to relieve discomfort. Most people can go home as soon as they have recovered from the anaesthesia. However, if you have had general anaesthesia or sedation, you will need to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours. General anaesthesia can temporarily affect co-ordination and reasoning skills, so you should not drive, drink alcohol, operate machinery or sign legal documents for 48 hours afterwards. You may be given painkillers, antibiotics and mouthwash solutions to take home. Once home, the painkillers should be taken as advised by the surgeon and nurses. Any pain, swelling or stiffness is usually at its worst two or three days after the operation and then gradually improves. Do not vigorously rinse your mouth out during the first 24 hours because this disturbs the blood clots that are part of the healing process. After meals, rinse gently with warm salt water (one teaspoon of table salt to a glass). At first, it may be possible to feel small fragments of bone with your tongue. These are the edges of the tooth socket and will soon disappear as the gum heals. Depending on the type of stitches used, they may need to be removed (arrangements will be made for this to be done). If dissolvable stitches have been used, they will disappear 7 to 10 days after the operation. To begin with, you should eat soft foods, gradually returning to a normal diet once any jaw stiffness has settled. Very hot drinks and spicy food can increase pain and bleeding and should be avoided until the gum has healed. Drinking alcohol and smoking should also be avoided as they can increase bleeding and delay healing. Anyone who experiences increased bleeding should fold a clean handkerchief or piece of gauze, place it on the bleeding gum and - in a sitting position - bite on it for at least 20 minutes. It is important not to rinse your mouth out or lie down. Most people experience no problems following an operation to remove wisdom teeth. However, contact your dentist or the hospital immediately if you develop any of the following: * bleeding that doesn't stop after applying pressure, or that lasts for more than half an hour * difficulty breathing or swallowing * a face that continues to swell more than three days after the operation * a fever or high temperature * severe pain that is not relieved by painkillers These symptoms may indicate that you have an infection or another problem.
I guess when you have an emergency for a toothache and your dentist prescribes you an antibiotic, if you run out then you would have to go back to your dentist. The reason for that is, you have too be prescribed the same medication and not mix them. I suggest that you get a refill. The point is, you should not mix the medication.
I'm slightly confused as to if the antibiotic was prescribed by your dentist or if the antibiotic is used in dentistry and was prescribed as a result of a knee replacement. Assuming the latter is the case, antibiotics are not location specific, they're bacteria specific. If you have an infection in your mouth, Penicillin will help to clear it up. That same Penicillin will help to prevent an infection in the knee after surgery.
If prescribed by a doctor or dentist then yes. If it doesn't work then they will try another kind of antibiotic but do not take antibiotics without consultation from your doctor or dentist as you can overdose on it.
So - Follow up with your dentist as medically advised! I assume the course of penicillin worked, and the abscess has been cured? As to what "Well, today?" means is too vague!
Your dentist probably gave you a sedative before working on your teeth, and this type of medication can temporarily impact body systems. Once the sedative wears off, normal erections should return. I don't think your erectile issues are due to penicillin.
Doctors and dentists should always know what medication you are on, no matter what it's for.
yes it can, i had my face swollen and pain when my first wisdon tooth came out. i went to dentist and he prescribed me with amoxcilin medication for infection.
no
If the toothache is cause by infection, then it should help the infection, since this is a member of the penicillin antibiotics, and is a broad spectrum antibiotic. But it will not help the actual pain. For that, you'll need to take aspirin, Tylenol, or a pain medication prescribed by your dentist.
More information is really needed to answer this question. Also, the three medications you listed do not start with a "c" for their trade or generic names. Best thing to do is consult your doctor again and ask him or your pharmacist to explain what the medication is for, what the possible side effects are and discuss wether you really want to take the medication or not. Also, you can talk to your dentist about a special guard to protect your teeth as a drug free alternative.
The best antibiotic for an abscessed tooth can depend on how bad the infection is and which the dentist prefers. Sometimes penicillin is best if the infection is bad. Amoxicillin is part of the penicillin family and is associated with the treatment of abscessed teeth.
I'm thinking the dentist removed it because it was a baby tooth and it was probably in the best interest of the child to get rid of the abscess. Being allergic to penicillin shouldn't have anything to do with it. I'm allergic to penicillin also. There are plenty of other medications out there that fight infection. I don't 100% understand your question but the doctor may have removed the tooth because he felt the infection couldn't be treated properly. Regarding pain, they could have given her medication for that as well. ~ T
