Please tell me will it be ok to put amoxicillin on a tooth infection?

No effect: Putting an antibiotic topically on a tooth or an abscess will not resolve your problem. Please call a dentist for an appointment.

Not recommended: The amoxicillin for tooth infection is more likely to be effective if you follow your dentist's exact instructions.
