Question:
My daughter at the age of 4 had a baby root canal on the upper right molar (Pulpotomy). Six months later when I took my daughter for her cleaning the tooth is now abcessed. I am not even sure how long the abcess has been there. My daughter is not in any pain, but should she be taking an antibotic? What is the best antibotic to take? ...Michele in CA
Answer:
Michele, any time an abcess is present, you should be placed on an antibiotic. The antibiotic of choice for dental abcesses is Amoxicillin.
