Antibiotics are used to prevent and treat some types of bacterial infections.
Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria mutate and become resistant to the antibiotics used to treat infections. The more antibiotics are used, the more chance there is for bacteria to develop resistance.
Key facts about antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotics are now no longer routinely used to treat infections.
Both Private and NHS health organisations across the world are trying to reduce the use of antibiotics, especially for health problems that are not serious.
We do take dental infections very seriously and while antibiotics are used sometimes, it is not always a simple answer. It is always best to have an examination so a long-term plan can be formulated.

Warm regards,
Your Oakthorpe Dental Team
All was fine on my last visit. The dental hygienist was very gentle, even for my overly-sensitive dental phobias. I trust the dentist to do the right thing, and investigate to the fullest extent possible, but not overly invasive.
Everything else is fine too.
