Absess In Gum Above Tooth Upper
Updated
Dooette Says:
I have an upper ,cracked,decayed,piece of tooth that has been there awhile. I noticed that above the tooth was 2 whiteish spot on the gum. No pain yet, however... I am currently taking sulfamethox-tmp ds for uti. Question-- Will this also work for infected gum or not? I was given 10 tablets to take twice a day. Thanks :)

It is an antibiotic, so it can also help with that, but it is really only going to last as long as your taking and possibly a week or so after.
Since the problem that's causing the infection will still be there, it is highly likely that it will just recur. You should really see a dentist to get the problem resolved. It would be best to do it while you are on the antibiotic, or as soon as possible as you stop, because it more painful to have them remove the tooth, if it is actively infected.
