antibiotics The above is true. When you have decay in a tooth and you let it go too long it begins to affect the nerve and air also can get in through the cavity and that's what causes the pain. Depending on how bad the tooth is your dentist MAY put you on antibiotics, but generally once the cavity is worked on by your dentist the problem is solved. that may be true but when all but a little bit of your teeth is there take both percocet and a antibiotics these two combined will help ease the pain and get rid of any infection in or on the teeth
