For most adult tooth infections, the typical amoxicillin dosage is 500mg three times daily. This regimen usually lasts for seven to ten days, depending on the severity of the infection and your dentist’s assessment.
Children require a different dosage, calculated based on their weight. Always consult your pediatrician or dentist for the correct dosage for your child. Never administer medication without professional guidance, especially for children.
Important Note: Amoxicillin is an antibiotic, and incorrect usage can lead to antibiotic resistance. Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if symptoms improve before the prescribed end. Contact your dentist if symptoms worsen or persist after finishing the medication.

Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any medication, including amoxicillin, to determine the appropriate dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs. They can properly diagnose your infection and tailor the treatment to ensure optimal results.
