Can Dentists Prescribe Antibiotics?

Yes, dentists can prescribe antibiotics or any other prescription medication as long as it is for a dental condition. Dentists typically prescribe amoxicillin, clindamycin, z-pack, or Keflex depending on the type of tooth infection. Dentists are not able to prescribe antibiotics to patients they have not seen, so most require some sort of exam before prescribing an antibiotic.
