Antibiotics should not be prescribed for toothache, except where the toothache is due to an Abscess, under or around the tooth. In this case, it is normal to prescribe a Broad Spectrum Antibiotic, such as Penicillin, unless the patient is known to react adversely to this, in which case another antibiotic is substituted.

Amoxicillin. (Or any type of 'cillin', I.E. - Penicillin, or even Keflex). Cephalexin is a similar antibiotic, but isn't necessarily for the mouth. Therefore, you could take it til you're blue in the face, it just won't do you any good for a toothache/absess.

None unless it is caused by an infection - far better bet - ibuprofen

Toothache Relief- Tips to Try at Home?

Toothaches hurt, and when you can't get to the dentist, you may be looking for relief. When a tooth is infected, you need to get a prescription for antibiotics, but until then, use a product such as ibuprofen to bring the swelling down. Be sure to read the instructions on how much to take beforehand. For toothache relief, you can combine ibuprofen with an over the counter topical gel, until you can get in to see your dentist. Avoid foods and drinks that are too hot or too cold, as well, to avoid further irritation.
