Loose Crown After Being Treated For Abscess. Need Antibiotics?
I have a loose crown at present in which I was treated for an abscess, but for some reason my dentist has made an appointment to deal with my loose crown in approximately 1 months time. I did think that this was quite a long time for me to put up with this loose crown and now I have a sore gum again. Does this mean the abscess has possibly returned and i will have to be treated with those horrible antibiotics again?.....I do have Flucloxacillin in the house, can I take these for the time being until my appointment in July? I would really appreciate your advice.....Sarah

HELLO,
Sore gum under the tongue May be arised from the re-infection under the tooth.
The pus has to be drained out completely as soon as possible.
I would suggest you to visit the dentist at the earliest.
Antibiotics has to be taken after draining the abscess.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take care.

Hi
Thanks for the query,
As per your details, your crown is loose so your saliva, food particles keeps seeping into it.
Reinfection has lots of chances to occur .
Your sore gum is due to this reinfection or loose crown which must be impinging on gum line during tooth movements.
Visit your dentist soon for proper treatment.
Until you can take amoxycillin 500mg.
Take care
