Asked By:TooCuteTara in Clinton Township, MI

I had an emergency root canal this morning (8/30) and the dentist put me on antibiotics...however, my surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday. My PS office is closed and I have read that the antibiotics won't hurt anything but I just want to make sure!!!
