Do antibiotics stop tooth pain?

I have some tooth pain and I'm wondering if taking antibiotics will stop and get rid of my tooth pain?

Antibiotics will get rid of tooth pain but usually antibiotics will only be prescribed for a really severe tooth infection.

If your tooth is infected severe enough to need antibiotics you will likely need to have the tooth extracted by a dentist.

Try sucking on some ice to help relieve the tooth pain or gargle with some warm salt water.
