http://www.bnf.org/bnf/bnf/52/105950.htm NHS dentists have a prescribed list from which they can prescribe. It includes Antiobiotics, antivirals, antifungals, Anti-inflammatory, painkillers, tranquilisers, fluorides, artificial salivas, antihistamines and a couple of other things. But it would be better to get treatment such as root canal or extraction rather than Antibiotics.
