Usually amoxicillian, ampacillian-anything from the penicillian family, and Ive also seen things like zithromax and tetracycline/docicycline rxed for those sensitive to the "cillians". And its not usually common for antibiotics to be rxed AFTER an extraction not before unless it was a surgical type extraction with a high risk of becoming infected, only pain pills if needed, but rather antibitocs are usually rxed prior to, to get rid of any abcess, as if you pull a tooth with a nasty absess the infection can easily spread from its happy little puss pocket above the root (what is causing you pain or making a lump which usually given time will rupture and drain of its own accord so you can spit it out and rinse REALLY WELL) into you bloodsteam leading to blood poisioning/a systemic infection. Do keep in mind we live in a very legitatious society and docs will hand out uneeded anitibiotics like candy which is not good for your long term health so be sure to ask WHY he feels you need them AFTER the bad tooth has been removed.

How long does it take swelling to go down after tooth infection?
I've had tooth infections that cause my cheeks to swell like a chipmunk. If you get the right antibiotic it can be as little as 2 doses - 24 hours for the swelling to go down. Sometimes it can take 3 or 4 doses to go down - about 48 hours. If you have been on an antibiotic for 3 days and there is no change in the swelling, you should call your doctor. You may need a stronger antibiotic or a different class of antibiotics.
