Dentist didn't give antibiotics

[TiredWitch]

Hi all,
I just joined this site.
And am kind of questioning why my dentist didn't give me a prescription for antibiotics after a tooth extraction I had wednesday.

I had a broken and abcessed tooth yanked (I use the word cause its easy) Wednesday, Doc numbed my gums then the roof of my mouth (OUCH, and it still hurts today, not bad, nothing I cant handle) popped abcess and used that sucking thingy to suck the gross that was coming out. Then started to pull my tooth. After he didn't prescribe any kind of antibiotics at all. Just a script of norco for 3 days.

Is this normal? Is this what all dentists do now?
Should I go see my Primary care doctor and possibly have her prescribe antibiotics?

Sorry for the longish post.

Also use cotton buds dipped in toothpaste to clean the teeth on either side of the hole so you don't get a build up of bacteria but don't risk hurting it with a brush.

My teeth were fucked, got 5 or 6 out at the same time. No antibiotics or pain relief given. Got antibiotics when I got my implant post put in though.

No antibiotics when I had a tooth extracted. But as it was still painful a week later I went back and got given antibiotics then. Fwiw... I'd still rather it was that way than routine antibiotics. We need to reduce over-reliance on them.
