ANSWER
Generally dentists stick with penicillin ( Pen Vee K ) for oral infections. However, if you have an infected tooth/gums/jaw and you need to go back for oral surgery, you would probably be give an Ancef or Kefzol injection or put on a different type antibiotic as a preventitive (prophylactic) purpose, so that during surgery, infection from your mouth doesn't flow through your body..<<ADR>>
