Finish antibiotic: You should always finish the antibiotic perscription. Don't stop taking it once you feel better or the procedure is done. Finish it. I have many patients who don't finish an antibiotic and then the infection is not gone and it will come back and be harder to treat the next time.

YES!!!!!!!!: Any prescription given to you by a physician should be taken until finished unless you have a problem with it such as a allergic reaction or severe GI distress(you must let prescriber know). If you don't finish rx you may create a"super infection" which may be much harder to treat even though your symptoms may have improved.

Always finish Ab: Finish your course of antibiotics as prescribed. Return to your dentist to have the crown made according to the appointment made for you. You don't have to finish the Amoxicillin before you get started on having the crown made.

Ask: This question should be answered by the dr. That prescribed the amoxicillin. Usually an antibiotic is taken for the full course. Call the prescribing dr.

Do NOT prematurely discontinue course of Amoxicillin until all are taken. Call your Dentist, the practitioner that knows you best, about timing of Crown preparation.
