A member asked:
Is pencillin v potassium appropriate for a tooth abcess?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's appropriate:: What would be wise and appropriate would be for you to seek proper dental care with a local dentist. He\she can resolve your dental problem by eliminating the cause and the use of appropriate medications. Trying to treat yourself and with only an antibiotic is useless.
