Periodontitis And Amoxicillin

I recently found out I have Periodontitis back where my wisdom tooth is coming in. Is Amoxicillin 500 mg a good start towards fighting the gum disease?

You should take it, if your doctor, or dentist has instructed you to do so.

This medication is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
