Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, the generic for Augmentin is an antibiotic and should only been taken if an actual infection has been confirmed present.

Taking it when it isn't needed, or if you don't have enough to take a full course of treatment, could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Additionally, if you do have a dental abscess, this will not help with the underlying problem, so you will still need to see a dentist as soon as possible, or the infection will just reoccur.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
