Antibiotics: Antibiotics will not cure your infected tooth. The infection is spreading to your jaw bone and may become dangerous. You need immediate Dental Treatment. If a Dentist gave you antibiotic and sent you away, find a different Dentist. If you are self-medicating, or got antibiotic from ER, Urgent Care, or Physician, find a Dentist immediately.
