Antibiotics are commonly used in dentistry for prophylactic as well as for therapeutic purposes. Most often antibiotics are used in unwarranted situations, which may give rise to resistant bacterial strains. Dentists want to make their patients well and to prevent unpleasant complications. These desires, coupled with the belief that many oral problems are infectious, stimulate the prescribing of antibiotics. Good knowledge about the indications of antibiotics is the need of the hour in prescribing antibiotics for dental conditions.
抗生素在牙科中常用于预防和治疗目的。抗生素最常被用于不必要的情况，这可能会产生耐药菌株。牙医希望让患者康复并预防不愉快的并发症。这些愿望，再加上认为许多口腔问题具有传染性的观念，促使他们开具抗生素处方。在为牙科疾病开具抗生素时，当下需要对抗生素的适应症有充分的了解。
