Most common questions used to investigate
Are you going to have a dental filling for your tooth?
Are you going to get a root canal treatment for your tooth?
Are you going to have a dental implant placement or a tooth removal?
Are you going to have your teeth cleaned or undergo a whitening procedure?
Common conclusions
Having your tooth treated with dental filling may not require that you take antibiotics. Cavity treatment is a regular procedure that includes cleaning up the cavity, filling it with composite resin and polishing.
Root canal treatment can sometimes require antibiotics due to severe inflammation that touches your bone structure. Such antibacterial treatment is needed to eliminate the amount of bacteria in your mouth.
Dental surgery often requires antibacterial medications due to high risks of infection. Prophylactic antibiotics are useful in preventing postoperative complications after an implant placement or a tooth removal.
Dental cleaning and whitening do not require antibacterial medications due to the absence on infection risks. Such procedures are safe and are widely practiced.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine which particular dental procedure you are set to undergo and whether you may require antibiotic medical treatment. Contact your dentist for more information and further examination.
