Antibiotic: Antibiotic used to control swelling and spread of bacteria. May take 24-36 hours to "take hold." Antibiotic will not cure a Dental abscess, however, and root canal treatment or extraction is required. Talk over your long-term treatment plan with your Dentist, and continue taking antibiotic until all are gone.
