Started an antibiotic 4 days ago for an absessed tooth and today i started spotting.. period not due for two more weeks ..should i be concerned?

Probably unrelated: Although the infection (abscess) for which you were given the antibiotic can cause damage to other organ systems in your body. Antibiotic is to control severity of the infection, but will not cure it. Treating the abscess will require root canal or extraction. So call your Dentist, and also call your OBGyn.
