What are good antibiotics for a tooth infection?

Moxi or augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate): Reasonable choices that cover oral organisms include Moxifloxacin or augmentin; the choice is ultimately up to your prescribing doctor.

Many good ones: But your dentist will evaluate your problem, and after a thorough review of your health history, s/he will prescribe the correct one. Then you will need to restore that tooth.
