If that is not possible, such as is the case with some invasive medical procedures, including some types of dental work, then antibiotics may be recommended. There has been confusion, among doctors, dentists, and patients, about who should have antibiotics before having dental work. In the past, administration of antibiotics prior to dental work was only recommended during the first two years after surgery.
Blood tests or bacterial swabs are taken to verify the level of bacteria present in an infection. If required, a course of penicillin, amoxicillin, and/or other antibiotics is prescribed for treatment, usually for a period of 5-10 days, with 3-4 pills taken a day (in the case of oral forms). A round of antibiotics must be taken, as prescribed, and in its entirety, even if symptoms disappear after a few days of use.
