Antibiotic
Meg asked:


I got my wisdom teeth out tuesday and its not the following wednesday. I have a dry socket in the lower left socket and it is extreemly painful. I got it treated with the antibiotic pad that the dentist offers for this kind of pain. It has helped the pain but I don't want this in my mouth forever. How long does it take for these kinds of things to heal if they are treated with the pads?

Antibiotics

I have an infection in my tooth and need root canal therapy. I can't afford to have the treatment just yet so my dentist has put me on a course of antibiotics in the mean time.
How do the antibiotics know where to find the infected area and start treating it?
