The Dental Practitioners' Formulary gives the list of drugs that can be prescribed by a dentist. Most are antibiotics and painkillers.

The NHS will save you dentally in good shape, with uncomplicated procedures and components yet some dentists won't do greater complicated artwork like crowns on the NHS simply by time and artwork and fees in contact so they combination and tournament the NHS contracts with private artwork which they're allowed to do. On a private foundation you get greater selection and greater innovations and and bigger components and a few private dentists do can charge at a lifelike point to boot. Any reliable dentist will communicate you thru your innovations and supply you a treatment plan. maximum treatment is paid for as you go away the surgical treatment by skill of cheque, funds or debit card and extremely few will enable the quantity due strengthen.

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.

yes they can prescribe antibiotics and mild pain killers. If you have an infection in your tooth they might take it out, depends how bad it is and which tooth. If its your wisdom tooth they they might just take it out and give you a course of antibiotics

Yes they can and do. however alcohol based mouth washes can help prevent even cure such infections as you mention. Hold it in your mouth over the affected gum area for as long as possible.
