Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Last molar eruption causes pain sometimes during eruption. If the tooth is not coming in position, it is usually extracted. Clarithromycin is an antibiotic, it reduces infection but not pain. For pain, you can take ibuprofen or any painkiller (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Dental extraction usually do not require general anesthetic, unless there are certain conditions which you have not mentioned in your query. Do salt water gargling. Hope you have an easy extraction. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
