Was wondering if antibiotics helped my toothache, do i still need root canal?

Infection ?: Antibiotics are not a substitute for dental care. The antibiotics did not restore your tooth, they just made the symptoms go away. If the tooth needed root canal therapy before your course of antibiotics, it still does.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics can begin to get an infection under control and thereby relieve symptoms (temporarily). If the cause of the original infection is not resolved, the problem will be back and often much worse! ask the doctor who placed you on the antibiotics to evaluate your tooth and determine what's next. If you took the antibiotics on your own, bad idea!

Likely: The antibiotics simply decreased the amount of infection not the cause. You still need the root canal treatment to clean out the dead and dying blood vessel and nerve tissue in the tooth chamber and canals , as well as eliminating as much of the infection as possible. See your Dentist or Endodontist as scheduled, otherwise you will be right back with the infection. Good Luck.

Yes, you do: A tooth infection won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. Visit a dentist ASAP for definitive treatment.
