Sorry about my other answer, Lucky. I didn't make the connection to you. I know your PICTURE is there with your NAME, but I just didn't look before I answered.

This will in no way cause any problems with your extraction.

I just wonder how you got a month's worth of clindamycin if the prescription was for an amount adequate for 5 days use. Something's fishy here...

No, lots of people need to take antibiotics before procedures, especially diabetics and people at a greater risk of infection. I would still tell the surgeon but you'll be fine.

No, it's fine. The more the merrier in this case.

anti-biotics kill infections it shouldnt really make a difference but i would tell him anyway

Antibiotics are strong things that kill the bad and the good. However, As long as the dose and duration are appropriate the benifit outweigh the harm . Make sure you consult a good doctor

Heck no..The guy who does the pulling already knows what-cha been taking. Bad thing is they don't help ya with the pain. Good-Luck

It is more important that the oral surgeon knows that the abscess has been there that long. But they should get a full history from you including any and all meds you've been taking.

If this abscess is still present after a month of antibiotics, it is possible it is not fully effective for whatever infection you have. You should call the oral surgeon as soon as possible as they may wish to prescribe a different antibiotic and have you on that for a time before the extraction.

Anytime you are under general anesthesia, someone should be getting a full medical history from you. Be very wary of anyone who would put you under without that precaution.

Much dental surgery is done under conscious sedation, which may be what they plan for you. You may be unaware of what's going on and have little or no memory of it, but's it not the same as a general. It sounds like there are some questions you really need to ask your dentist and/or anesthesiologist.

I think you had better tell your dentist before you have the procedure. If you had a prescription from him that provided the antibiotics intended to be taken over 5 days, and you have been taking them for the past month- you haven't taken the correct dosage. The antibiotics were to get the infection taken care of before the tooth was pulled, so you had less of a chance of developing a systemic infection or worse after the procedure was done. If you haven't taken the antibiotics correctly, then you are not covered against this.
The dentist may decide to go ahead with removing the tooth, and give you another prescription to take afterwards. Or he may give you a new prescription to take correctly and reschedule you to remove the tooth another day. Either way, the decision needs to be made by him, and you need to be sure you ask and understand how to take the medications before you leave his office. Taking antibiotics correctly is important for them to work properly, if not taken correctly they can be dangerous, or not work at all. Or you could develop other infections that are resistant to the medicine.
In short- tell the dentist before he does anything.

Definitely tell him about the ascess. I don't know what the consequences might be of having it during your extraction, but could be serious. Infections from dental work are all too common.

If the abscess is from the tooth you are having extracted you need to call his office BEFORE you go in to have the work done. If the infection is still present there is a possibility you will be more resistant to the medication used to anesthetize the area. Also if the infection is still there when the tooth is removed it could travel to other parts of your body and that is never a good thing.
It never hurts to ask questions or share info when it comes to your health. I am concerned about how you have been taking that RX for a month when there was only suppose to be enough for 5 days.
Call them describe what is going on with the infection, explain about the antibiotic and see if they need to call you something else in.
I'm sure they will know exactly how to handle it that is after all what we are there for. :-)

In terms of prescribed meds for 5 days you have already taken an over dose which seem to be ineffective to your abscess. It is a dangerous wonder your having managed to obtain more quantity of meds and sent it down the throat as well. You would do well to call your dentist for advice.

Yes tell your oral surgeon No antibiotics won't hurt you
I went to the dentist today and he prescribed 850 mg twice a day until I have my oral surgery next monday the antibiotics are for infection
