See a dentist!: Some dental abscesses are associated with resistant microbes that may not be affected by the antibiotic you are taking. A dental professional can evaluate your situation accurately and help determine the best course of action to treat the problem.

See a dentist : If you have an abscessed tooth that is not responding o antibiotics , you need to see a dentist soon as the abscess can cause adverse effects on other parts of your body and can be dangerous. You may need an urgent extraction!

See dentist: Was the tooth extraction listed under procedures done in response to an abscess? Or did you have a tooth extraction followed by development of an abscess? If the abscess has not actually been treated, that will be required to heal - as the antibiotic is a staying measure. It is still work day in texas time -zone so please give your dentist a call.
