To take or not to take

Hi, my dilemma is to take AB, or not to?
Here is the situation, started SCD diet almost three weeks ago, intro period and the whole adjustment part is really hard blah blah, you have read a lot about this, I am sure.
Yesterday I had to remove a tooth due to infection, the question now is do I take the AB and mess up the whole progress with the diet, and not only this, we all know how not very welcomed by our gut they are, or wait and see if I can skipp it?
I spoke with the GI, he is fine with me waiting, the surgeon was understanding enough, and also was not very pushy, although he said that it would be better if I take it... Any advise is welcome.

АB=antibiotics, yes.
It is to prevent, but just the tbought of my last flare up freaks me out :(

Fermina, i can only say this from tooth infection experience, but id take the antibiotic if it were me. When i had my wisdom teeth out, i was miserable for a week but figured everyone felt this bad and was in pain. a week later on sunday morning, i woke up and found that the right side of my face was huge and throbbing. Mom called the dental surgeon's office and he came in on a sunday. He opened my stitches back up and found a piece of bone still inside the stitches. He let all the blood and pus drain out of the wound and restitched me. Ended up on antibiotics for cant remember how long. I didnt have UC at the time though but I wouldnt hesistate to take them again. I was miserable! Are you having bad tooth symptoms now? I have heard of people oil pulling for tooth problems but i havent tried this. Definitely take them if you notice anything weird going on.
