None: No antibiotics for toothache. Only pain killers like Ibuprofen 400-600 mg every 6 hours if you don't have any allergies or any other problem with ibuprofen. If there is an associate swelling and abscess then you may need antibiotics. The dentist must to an evaluation.

Why?: Tooth ache is due to infection, antibiotic will slow infection's progress but will not "fix" the damaged tooth. Tooth ache due to other reasons, such as fracture, root exposure, trauma, etc, antibiotics will not help. You need to see your dentist now to find out what's causing the tooth ache and have cause treated. Dentist may prescribe antibiotics if indicated. Don't self medicate--dangerous.
