Yes: if there is an allergy to penicillin products another must be chosen. Also, sometimes the antibiotic is unsuccessful so another may be needed that works differently.

Antibiotics: If you are allergic to penicillin , you may end up getting Clindamycin .For people who are not allergic o penicillin , Augmentin ( Penicillin + Clavulanate combo ) is usually what is prescribed .

Prophylaxis: So..augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is fine...usually good old fashioned amoxicillin is used. Two grams 1 hour before the procedure. If you have a penicillin allergy..then clindamycin.

Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) is Ok: For tooth infection Augmentin(combination of Amoxicillin&Clavulanate) is the correct Antibiotic as has been prescribed for you.It is recommended that you should see the dentist to check on teeth and gums and you might need local dental treatment along with the Antibiotics. And you are going to see the dentist and that is good too
