That is the standard of care. There is nothing wrong with using antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection .

The overuse causes the strains to become resistant to the pills. PLUS ! It kills the good AND bad bacteria.
Yeah... nothing wrong with that if I don't actually need it, huh?

That’s not how it works. If you start a course of antibiotics you have to finish it. Taking them for a day when you’re supposed to take them for a week is how you breed resistant strains

You don't understand how doctors work do you? Or maybe you're just pretending to be an ignorant. .
Doctors are THROWING antibiotics at patients. Which breeds misuse( like not accurate timing/dosage), which breeds more dangerous bacterial resistant strains.

Well at least you corrected yourself and said misuse. Prophylactic antibiotics before oral surgery is not misuse. OP likely has a chronic infection inside his tooth.

3 weeks sounds like a long time, i got a tooth yanked few weeks ago, emailed dentist I never saw before and was in the same day because i said i was in pain. I wanted to get it done before shutdown 2.0 shuts down the non emergency dental visits again.....

@op, here are some things that helped me during my teeth adventures: -temporary filling(helped the most with pain) -real vanilla extract -lidocaine -ice to numb it -Ibuprofen(reduces swelling which is the main cause of pain)

sounds like solid advice!
but without the lidocaine and temporary filling
would the ice and vanilla and IB profin have worked?
I know I've heard some stuff about black walnut, but it will stain the teeth very bad

Yes. Vanilla extract will act as a kind of numbing agent if you can get it on the nerves. Ibuprofen was the best thing that helped me besides the temporary filling. And I only used ice one night when the pain was so bad that I couldn't stand it. It worked but out of everything worked the least as it would only work as it is applied.

SO theoretically in the old days WITHOUT Ib profin/opium and no medicine, would the tooth just have to be chipped out with a chisel?

Thanks again for all the advice. I ended up grabbing some oragel since I was on vacation and had slim options for shopping. I did get some empty tea bags for soaking cloves next to the tooth and I'll try the vanilla extract in corrolation to the cloves. Just trying to endure and keep my mouth clean till the tooth is gone.
I am also surprised they didn't offer a quick inspection to determine if antibiotics were necessary until the appt. When the pain peaks it send a throbbing feeling of electricity through the left side of my head and I cant help but assume that's not ideal for what's left of my brain.

They will likely give you a root canal, give you shots to numb you, then drill the teeth empty, stuff it with a dental material and close it up with filling polymer.
That way you have the tooth, but no nerve, and thus no pain.

Oh man OP, I feel ya. I have a wisdom tooth that was cracked and finally broke in half a couple weeks ago. Sometimes the pain isn't so bad, other times it's extremely painful. Honestly some of the worst I've ever felt. I'm getting it pulled in a week.
It doesn't help for much else for me personally, but the ibuprofen/acetaminophen combo helps a lot. I hate taking the stuff, but its been helping a lot. I've been taking like 5 or 6 at a time twice a day, and it's cut the pain down quite a bit. I know its not good for my stomach or liver...but it gives me some relief until this tooth is out. I would recommend this option the most, as it's what has helped me the most so far.
A couple of clove oil drops in some mouth wash has been helping too temporarily when its bad.
I wanted cannabis oil to help, but it doesn't do nearly as much as I wish it did.
Benzocaine gel helped at first, but stopped working after a couple days. That stuff is horrible for you too, and I've stopped using it completely.
The nerves in your teeth are like Christmas lights or something. It's crazy, when its hurting really bad it sends pain signals up my face and down through my other teeth too.
This shit is awful, and I hope you can get in sooner than three weeks to get it taken out. I would suggest getting it pulled over a root canal personally if it's cracked. They might try to cap it or something too, idk...but if you get it taken out its done and there won't be issues with the tooth in the future.

Yeah I'm not happy about the benzocaine as a remedy but it does settle the throbbing down for a good hour. I'm trying to limit the use to 2 times a day. I as well might opt for just yanking it since it's been cracked for so many years but we will see what the dentist has to say about best options.
