NO: Antibiotics are not for everyday use. Their use could be warranted if you had a condition that caused you to need to be premedicated like a heart or joint replacement.

Oral piercings: Antibiotics would have a place IF an infection developed. Please think twice about an oral piercing - there can be serious consequences.
