Hello,

Thanks for putting up your question on Just Answer.

Yes, ceftin is definitely good for an abscessed tooth. Ceftin is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic for oral administration. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

However, it is NOT a replacement for dental treatment.

For more information on Ceftin, please refer to:

http://www.drugs.com/ceftin.html

Hope this answers your question. Feel free to contact me again for more information.

Regards,
Dr. Behere.
