Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Before extracting a tooth antibiotics are given to decrease infection.
During extraction time....you have lack pain and our anesthesia work properly.
In extraction procedure dentist use a local anesthesia to anesthetise a tooth.
In infection condition anesthesia is not work properly. so during procedure you may feel pain or discomfort.
This amoxicillin antibiotics are given to decrease infectious condition.
Take proper course of antibiotics and consent a dentist.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you very much.
