Can Antibiotics Be Taken After The Dental Treatment Instead Of Before?
hello, my name is mike, I'm 53 years old. My dentist wants me to take an antibiotic before he does work on my teeth. I forgot to take the medication he prescribed and didn't tell him before he did the work. Can I take the medication later or not worry about it? thank you.
hi welcome to HCM intake of antibiotic before the treatment is to avoid infection. if you did had medicine, treatment has already be started and didnt had cause you any problem then not to worry. now you can tell your dentist because medication after treatment depends on type of disease and treatment. thank you
