ANSWER Generally dentists stick with penicillin ( Pen Vee K ) for oral infections. However, if you have an infected tooth/gums/jaw and you need to go back for oral surgery, you would probably be give an Ancef or Kefzol injection or put on a different type antibiotic as a preventitive (prophylactic) purpose, so that during surgery, infection from your mouth doesn't flow through your body..<

∙ 14y agoIt all depends on the type of infection. Generally you are prescribed a dose of Penacillin which can be administered either by injection (once only required) or a dose of pills to take 3 times or more a day.
When taking the Pills, It is best to sip warm tea or liquid to enhance the healing process around the area

Normally it is quite difficult for any antibiotic to get to the abscess in an abscessed tooth. The infection is usually somewhere in the root and does not have a good blood supply. If your dentist gave you Bactrim, he probably did not give it to you to treat the abscess, but to treat the infection in the bone below the tooth. The usual way to treat the abscess, is to drill it out. It is not normally just treated with an antibiotic.
