Dental Abcess Ask The Dentist James Sanderson

Question:
Is tetracycline ok for treating an abcess? I can't see my dentist immediately but my wife has some DORYX capsules. ...Visitor from Rhode Island

Answer:
Tetracycline is not the drug of choice to treat an infection in the mouth like an abscess.

You need to see your dentist soon or find a dentist who can see you soon. I am sorry to tell you that but that is the answer here.
