Amoxicillin works well for dental infections if you are not allergic to penicillin
Hi,

If you are not allergic to anything, amoxicillin is usually the first drug of choice. If you are allergic to that, then clindamycin or Keflex.
It depends on the infection. Choices include Penicillin, Erythromycin, Clindomycin, and Tetracycline.
