Can flucloxacillin be used to treat a dental abscess?
This is a narrow spectrum antibiotic, that targets Strep. aureus, but not much else other than that. It will work against some forms of dental abscess, but I would expect to see something with a bit of broader target range. Common treatments would include: Oral amoxicillin plus metronidazole, Co-amoxiclav monotherapy, or for penicillin alergic patients clindamycin. If in extreme pain I would personally recomeend the use of Orajel Maximum toothache pain relief gel. It contains 20%w/w Benzocaine which will temporarilly numb the pain
How much oral penicillin for a horse with abscess tooth?
You should not give a horse oral Penicillin. Oral Penicillin can seriously disrupt normal microorganisms in the digestive tract which can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain (colic). For an abscessed tooth you may need to give Injectable Penicillin, but never oral. It would be best to contact a equine veterinarian and possibly an equine dentist, as the tooth may need to be removed.

I had a toothache for a few days and finally went to the ER and they said I have an abscessed tooth. They prescribed me penicillin and told me I would have to follow up with my dentist. Well today?
So - Follow up with your dentist as medically advised! I assume the course of penicillin worked, and the abscess has been cured? As to what "Well, today?" means is too vague!
