and more then that a answer from a very good hepatologist

"any drug metabolized by the liver can cause toxic effects, the one prescribed by your dentist is not considered to be at high risk. The risk would be even lower taking only Amoxicillin (without Clavulanic acid)"

I think 4est posted some links to websites. According to this website:
http://www.sinomedresearch.org/hcv/articles/c17_ABX.htm
4. Penicillin family.

The following antibiotics belong to this family: Benzylpenicillin, Benzathine penicillin, Phenoxymethylpenicillin, Oxacillin Sodium, Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin, Ampicillin Sodium, Ampicloxacillin sodium, Pvampicillin, Amoxicillin, Carbenicillin sodium, Talampicillin, Furbenicillin, Mecillinam, Carindacillin sodium, Ticarcillin. These antibiotics cause the least liver damage and only patients who are allergic may experience some side effects. Generally, antibiotics in the penicillin family are the most “liver friendly” and safe for chronic hepatitis patients to use.

But this website:
http://www.hepcnet.net/drugsandliverdamage.html
Drugs that may cause CHOLESTATIC JAUNDICE
actinomycin D
chlorpropamide
erythromycin
amoxicillin/clavulanate


The advice is to read the label information carefully. Short term use is fine. Should always consult your doctor if long term use.
Just my opinion/
