Do I always have to take antibiotics before extracting a tooth?

When patients have teeth that need to be extracted or even an infection, they may not always need antibiotics beforehand

Went to a dentist 4 times and they kept prescribing antibiotics every time but wouldn't pull my teeth. Now most my teeth have rotted and broken. I'm in so much pain every day I cry when I wake up. I can't take much more. Is it safe to pull them myself? I'm desperate for relief.

Hello!

I start having paint last night on my teeth today i woke up with very swollen cheek, i talked to my family doctor and he prescribed me antibiotics I start taking them today, i called a local dentist and asked them if he can get me in tomorrow he said yes and he said he will be able to putt out my teeth even though my cheek is very swollen! Does that make sense can that be deadly?

How soon after antibiotics do I have to get the tooth extracted?

I had 10 days of antibiotics and ran out. It is Thursday.. I go either Saturday or Sunday to get it extracted. Will I be ok?
