[|Human|] I had or still have an infection in the last right molar. I took antibiotics but it is still hurting not as much but still hurts. The dentist said my tooth was perfectly fine. If the tooth is in good condition do you still have to take the tooth out? I feel like the amoxillian was not a strong enough antibiotic. It got better but not enough for the infection to go away. It is very easy for the dentist to say pull it out but if the tooth is in perfect condition I don t see why pull it out than get rid of the infection. I d like your advice as if it were your teeth . Would you pull it out?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Third molar is neither esthetically nor functionally important. Therefore it is usually advised to get extracted. In your case, you must take an x-ray which will guide you about the available space in your jaw for eruption of third molar. After that you can decide whether to get the tooth extracted or not.it is your choice, if you are convinced with enough reasons, only then you should get it extracted. Antibiotics and analgesics are temporary relief in this case, permanent solution is always extraction. As this last molar always leads to recurrent infection called pericoronities, due to poor hygiene there. Hope I have answered your query. For further you can contact me through my profile.regards.thanks.
