What Happens If The Nerve To The Tooth Is Damaged?

Hi. I chiped one of my front teeth over the weekend. I went for x-rays, and the dentist said that the nerve to the tooth might have been damaged. He gave me some antibiotics (Ciploxx500)....Why the antibiotics? and what will happen if the nerve have been damaged?

Thank you
