Hi
With your query, first of all no need of antibiotics for gingivitis just mouth wash is good enough with thorough scaling is more than enough and you have also mentioned you had two crowns so why dont you check those with a prosthodontist for a better treatment 'coz sometimes these crowns if they are not properly placed or impinging on gums/gingiva lead to gingivitis with bad pain.PLEASE DO NOT USE ANTIBIOTICS FOR EVERY SMALL REASON IT IS NOT INDICATED you have already used two doses of antibiotics. and ask him why he is not willing to do scaling in the lower jaw.Hope this is helpful
