Re: Pre oral surgery without antibiotics?

 I need gum surgery around one bottom back tooth, and the guy wants me to take antibiotics. I don't want to but I said I would.

What can I do instead of taking antibiotics before and after surgery, or do you think I should take them because it's a lower back tooth?

I was thinking drinking pao d'arco tea, kefir, and taking curcumin supplements would help.

I have always used pau d' arco for tooth/gum infections with great success.  Pau d' arco contains 18 antiseptic compounds and five anti-inflammatory compounds.  You can add a little licorice root to sweeten the tea and for an additional antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
