5 days ago I had a bridge holding a "fake" tooth removed from the back of my mouth. The bridge served to hold the fake tooth in place of my missing last molar which I never had. Since than I have developed a sore in the back of my mouth that is very painful, so much so that it is keeping me up at night. I feel the pain all the way through my lower bottom teeth. Could the sore be infected? My dentist prescribed Cephalexin plus Ibuprofen. I really don't like taking antibodics unless I have to. Do I need to start taking them or could the pain not be bacterial related? I have been taking ibuprofen through out the week for pain.
Is my post dental procedure pain an infection?
Your dentist prescribed antibiotics for a reason, to use them.
I suggest you contact your dentist and discuss this matter with him, if an infection has spread into your jaw then you may need more than the antibiotics he has prescribed. The infection may need to be drained and the site cleaned. The only cure for serious jaw infection is removal of the infected bone, get it checked out before it reaches that stage.
Reply:Do as you are told by the dentist.

Reply:You better go back to the doctor to have him look at it. You should have been taking the medication he prescribed. They give you antibiotics to prevent infection after a proceedure. By not taking them you take a huge risk. Infections in the mouth area can become very serious if not treated quickly.
