I have been given Amoxicillan for two of my abscess tooth problems. but that won't do the whole trick if the infection is spread too much. You will have to have a root canal. Also be careful taking antibiotics for too long, they can kill off good bacteria in your stomach (drink buttermilk) or ask for a supplement of that in the pharmacy (non prescription but it's behind the counter).

∙ 15y agoYour dentist will know which type is right for you. I had an abscessed tooth too. I had to be on antibiotics for 4 weeks to get rid of the infection. Then I had to have a root canal done. It did not hurt at all and I am afraid of the dentist. Amoxicillin, Biaxin or clindamycin are often used in treating dental infections.

This is a very good question. Most of the infections are viral infections and they do not need any antibiotic. Secondly most of the bacterial infections are mild and they also do not need antibiotic. Thirdly the dose, duration and selection of antibiotic needs a wise judgement. Which you can not decide. Forth reason is injudiciuos use of antibiotic can lead to emergence of antibiotics resistant bacteria. As you have in case of ndm 1 or superbug in your hand. This generation is responsible to the welfare of the coming generations. So in short the antibiotics should not be taken without the prescription of the qualified doctor.
