See a dentist: If you truly have a bad tooth infection you probably need it taken care of by a dentist. This may help in not having to use antibiotics but not likely. Your dentist may give you some thing like peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate). At this point it is probably best that you are seen by a dentist to evaluate how bad the infection is and what your options would be.

See a dentist !: Medications don't fix teeth, just treat symptoms. The tooth needs to be evaluated and treated.

See a dentist ASAP: 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 body. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP for tooth infection.
