I'm having pulpitides on my two wisdom teeth. Now I'm taking antibiotics for three days. And I'm going to get my teeth removed 3 days later. The problem is that my heart rates keep accelerated, and I have some headaches too. Looks like my infections are not 100% under control. Q1, Can I still go for teeth extraction 3 days later? Or can I still wait for 3 days? Q2, What should I do to minimize any complication during and after the surgery? Thanks a billion.

Hi lybrate-user, Ya you can go ahead with extractions, n it will completely resolve after that. I suggest you not to take any hot packs after tooth removal, not have hot food for 24 hrs, n after 24 hrs do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. I hope I could ans your query.

Hello lybrate-user. U can go for extraction as you are already on medication for 3 days. When you got extraction .then you hv to be on medication for 5 days more. So do not wait and let's go for it without any worry. Your doctor will tell you about the post extraction instructions which are very easy to take care. Don't worry abt that. Stay healthy .keep smiling.

After three days of antiobiotic coverage the infection gets controlled and get it removed. Palpitations r due to your anxiety levels. There will be some discomfort after removal of tooth. But take some precautions like avoid vigorous gargling, take soft and cold food, gargle with warm salt water.

Hello, it is a systemic problem. You need to consult a physician, and get your blood pressure and cardiac levels checked. Under the physician's recommendation, you can get your tooth removed or not.
