Practical answers on wisdom teeth, dental implants, and recovery for patients across Waterloo Region.
Do You Need Antibiotics After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Most healthy patients do not need antibiotics after routine wisdom teeth removal. Surgeons prescribe them selectively: when there is an existing infection, when surgery is more involved (for example, deeply impacted teeth or bone removal), or when a patient's medical history raises the risk of infection. If you were given antibiotics, take the full course exactly as directed.

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) happens when the blood clot in a tooth socket breaks down or dislodges too early, exposing the bone underneath. The classic sign is pain that gets worse, not better, 2 to 4 days after an extraction, often spreading toward the ear, with a bad taste or odour. It is not usually an infection, and it responds quickly to treatment in the office.

Pericoronitis is inflammation, often with infection, of the gum flap covering a partially erupted tooth, most often a lower wisdom tooth. Food and bacteria get trapped under the flap, causing pain, swelling, a bad taste, and sometimes difficulty opening the mouth. Mild cases often settle with cleaning and warm salt-water rinses, but repeated episodes are a common reason to have the wisdom tooth removed.
