Hello,
Alphamox is an antibiotic and stopping it without completing 5th day dose is not a good idea.
I would suggest you complete all the Alphamox tablets prescribed by your dentist. Stopping it would put you vulnerable to infections which could quickly spread.
It might also lead to future resistant infection which might warrant more strong antibiotic to clear your infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
