Advice on finishing meds after wisdom teeth extractions

I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday (regular extractions, not surgical) and my dentist prescribed methylprednisole and amoxicillin along with Tylenol and Ibuprofen. My teeth were removed because of a small cavity developing in one, so I elected to have them removed instead of filling. They seemed to come out without any trouble.

I started both prescriptions, but now on the second day I have no pain and no swelling and I’m not taking anything for pain. I wish I didn’t have to take a bunch of pills for the next week. I know you’re supposed to finish antibiotics to prevent resistance, but is it a big deal if I didn’t have an infection to begin with? Also, how important is it to taper the steroid? (It’s a 6 day schedule tapering from 6 pills @ 4mg each to one.

I can finish the meds if that’s best, but I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t bothered to fill the prescriptions and I prefer not to take medications unnecessarily.
