Neomycin is an antibiotic that is not typically recommended for treating an abscessed tooth. It is mainly effective against certain types of bacteria on the skin and in the intestines but lacks effectiveness against the bacteria commonly found in dental infections. For an abscessed tooth, a dentist usually prescribes antibiotics such as amoxicillin or clindamycin, which are more appropriate for oral infections. It's essential to consult a dental professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
