Amoxicillin Syrup in Dental Treatment

Why this medicine is prescribed

Amoxicillin syrup is an antibiotic in a form made for children.

An antibiotic is not a painkiller — it does not relieve pain. It is prescribed to treat an infection, or to reduce the risk of one after a dental procedure. Please give every dose, for as many days as the dentist prescribed, even after your child seems well again.

Medicine alone does not repair the tooth or the gum where the infection started — that still needs treatment.

Which dental procedures it is prescribed for

• Tooth Extraction / Swelling and Infection / Root Canal Treatment for Children — Pediatric Dentistry

If your child will not take the medicine, or if you are unsure how much to give, please contact the clinic before skipping a dose or estimating the amount yourself.
