Dental Abscess: Dental infections cannot be treated by antibiotics... they need to be treated by a dentist. The abscess is either endodontic or periodontal in nature, something neither you or antibiotics can treat. See a dentist for definitive care before your abscess returns with a vengeance.

Abscess : Infections are usually related to your teeth and gums. Seek treatment by your dentist immediately.

Dental infection: Taking the antibiotics appears to have helped get the infection under some control, but obviously there remains a problem that needs further treatment. Continue taking the antibiotics until told to stop and discuss with your own dentist asap what is the cause of the infection and what are your options regarding definitive dental treatment: Root Canal Therapy, Periodontal therapy, extraction?

Abscess: Antibiotics do not cure abscessed (infected) teeth, only moderate the spread of infection. Cure requires root canal/crown or extraction/implant/crown. If tooth not treated, when you come off the antibiotic the infection will return. Please see your Dentist for advice before the antibiotic runs out.
