Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you are allergic to Amoxicillin dont worry for this you should first tell your history to allergic drug to your dentist ,
You do is take one capsule of clindamycin first if you feel like any allergy or any reaction you stop taking that drug and , you take one tablet of Antihistamine if you have any allergic reaction to that drug, and consult your dentist as early as possible.
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health
