I have an infection in my tooth an the dentist cant get me in for another week or two i was wondering if someone could just call me in a antibiotic to bring the swelling down?

Yes: Call the health tap line and a doctor will review your medical history, symptoms and allergies and help with treatment. All the best.

You can: you need to have a live consult with a physician from your state,in order to have a prescription called in good luck

1-800 dentist 24/7: Take an NSAID (such as ibuprofen) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) to help with any pain and call emergency dentist at 1-800 dentist 24/7. Take care.

Better option: If your dentist can't get you in for another week or two, ask one more time and if that's the case, find another dentist. I always am able to work my emergency patients in the same day, or at least the next day. I would not want my patient on an antibiotic for a week or two without knowing what's causing the problem. Some infections even with antibiotic coverage need to be treated right away.

Seek alternate DDS: Change dentists immediately! Your dentist should always be able to see emergencies on a daily basis.

Pain: Call your dentist again and report your problem. The dentist should be able to see you on an emergency. Most dentists will see emergencies the same day. If the dentist will not see you for 2 weeks it is time to call another dentist.

Your Dentist: Your Dentist can prescribe an antibiotic for you. You can also ask your Dentist for the name of a root canal specialist, an Endodontist, who can see you almost immediately.

Swelling?: Good afternoon; A wise dentist would not wish to prescribe a an antibiotic without examining patient with xray, not knowing reason for swelling. Visit an emergency dentist for diagnosis and keep your scheduled visit with your dentist.
