The point is did he have reason to think you'd need them ?
Gah! This is one of those situations that I must interject from a medical standpoint.
Yes, there are plenty of doctors that tend to prescribe medications as if it is going out of style. However, with an open wound into subcutaneous tissue at the site of bone (your jaw)- Take the antibiotics.
As someone in the medical profession and a not so firm believer in always turning to medicine; I would say this is one of those times you just take it and let it heal up nice and clean.

She didn't have 'dried socket' and neither did I after extraction and neither did anyone I know who has had an extraction need antibiotics.
My commentary was to be informative as to why antibiotics should be taken in situations that there is an open wound in the mouth- or any part of the body for that matter- as a means to prevent what could become a horrifying infection.
If it hadn't been studied and documented; the universal course of treatment would not be standard to prescribe antibiotics.
I disagree. I am hardly misinformed. I have spent enough years working in the ER to know first handed how many infections walk through the door at ungodly hours. While every single extraction may not require antibiotics, it is indeed prescribe to prevent infection- Or they wouldn't be given. Surely it is up to the patient whether they follow a course of antibiotics or not.
Standard- yes it is. Don't know where you got the information that it is not, but organizations such a WHO and AMA (among others) have documentation from doctors all over the world that collaborate their studies and compile text and papers that define diseases, infections and surgical procedures and standardize courses of treatment- GLOBALLY.

Further proof of such- We all code every known illness,disease, injury and causes of injury the same exact way. ICD-9 is the current standard. As of October 2015, the entire globe will be using ICD-10. ICD is the International Classification of Diseases.
I'm not going to argue or defend what I spent over a decade of studying and what I do for a living. Again, I am not a dentist; but I am a medical practitioner.
