Amoxicillin Dose: 2000mg one hour before your appointment is the appropriate dosage for that antibiotic for your condition. It may sound like a lot but it is not.

Antibiotic pre-med: Amoxicillin 2 grams orally 1 hour prior to the dental procedure. The guidelines for antibiotic per-medication are constantly changing, therefore consultation with your dentist is a standard of care.
