Should i take amoxicillin or keflex for tooth infection?

Do not self medicate: You should call a dentist for treatment. Antibiotics do not fix teeth.. Dentists do. The problem will only get worse if you avoid seeking care. Please call for an appointment.

Amox or Penicillin?: Both are commonly prescribed effective antibiotics but it won't matter which one you take as without appropriate dental treatment to remove the cause of the infection, you won't resolve the problem. This requires professional dental treatment.
