Dental treatment ?: Did your dentist treat you for this tooth and did s/he prescribe the antibiotics? If so, give them a call and let them know the antibiotics are not working. If not, give them a call for an appointment. Antibiotics do not restore rotten teeth, and often treatment is needed in conjunction with the medication.
