Do you need anti-inflammatory injections after wisdom tooth extraction?

Although wisdom tooth extraction is one of the more traumatic types of extraction in dental surgery, anti-inflammatory injections are not usually used to reduce inflammation after extraction. You should consult with the surgeon who extracted the wisdom teeth and ask him about the precautions to be taken after the operation, as well as the medications that need to be applied and the specific method of applying the medications. In most cases, anti-inflammatory medications are used for wisdom teeth removal, but oral medications can be effective. Half an hour before the operation, you can take cephalosporin antibiotics to prevent infection, and after the operation, you can choose cephalosporin or nitroimidazole antibiotics for 3 days, while observing the patient’s temperature and wound healing, to see if further anti-inflammatory treatment is needed after the operation.
