What antibiotic should be taken for an abscessed molar tooth?

In: Medication and Drugs, Antibiotics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Your 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.
