I have a tooth infection Should I be Taking Antibiotic before Pulling My Tooth?
Yes, you should be placed on an antibiotic to clear up the infection before the tooth is pulled. Call your dentist and ask for one. Generally teeth are not pulled until the patient has been on antibiotics for 7-10 days. Check into it.
