When infections occur.
by: Christine Zafra
After you have had your extraction, there are some instances that an infection might occur. Although it is occasional, but various reports have been made about it. We all know that the mouth is full of bacteria. Yes, even though you brush your teeth regularly, or even more than the average times people should brush their teeth, bacteria builds up inside every time you eat, breathe, or even talk (airborne bacteria). Sometimes, these bacteria get in the newly extracted place of the tooth and that’s when infection starts. Dentists usually prescribe antibiotics to cure the infection and kill the bacteria around and in the open wound.
