Over the counter antibiotics? Is there a dentist in the house?

[mrmustang]

Is there such a thing as over the counter antibiotics these days?


First the bridge falls out and I lose it (long story short, I swallowed it and never wanted to retrieve it), now it seems I cracked a tooth (that the bridge was attached to) early this am and I've had on and off pain throughout the day. Tylenol, Aleve, and anbesol have not helped....I now notice that the gum area around the affected tooth is red and inflamed and want to nip that in the bud before it gets worse. Any ideas (I've already rinsed with peroxide) would be greatly appreciated as I do not have dental insurance, which means I wait until Tuesday for treatment.


Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Bill S.
