You should call your dentist for a new script. Left over medication will not be enough to kill the infection and not taking enough medication to kill the infection can lead to antibiotic resistance by the bacteria. (You are not supposed to have left over medication if you took it as it was directed for your bronchitis, you are supposed to finish an antibiotic even if you feel better, this kind of practice is what leads to resistant bacterias)
