Are you having any pain? Is there any puss present?

An antibiotic is only necessary, if there is actually an infection present. If you aren't sure, then please consult your dentist, so they can check.

An antibiotic isn't necessary just for a normal dental extraction and usually aren't prescribed, due to the danger of developing antibiotic resistance from improper use.
