Yes, doxycycline can be used as an antibiotic to help manage an abscessed tooth, particularly if there's a bacterial infection involved. However, it is not the first-line treatment; dental procedures such as drainage and root canal therapy are typically necessary to address the underlying issue. Always consult a dentist for appropriate treatment options tailored to your specific condition.
