Did your dentist diagnose the cause of this infection and what treatment is needed? Antibiotics help control a dental infection but will not cure the problem. If your infection is severe an I&D may be necessary to drain most of the infection before it will begin to work. Follow-up with your dentist or oral surgeon to see if a different medication is warranted.
