Would antibiotics mask a tooth infection on an xray?

I went to the dentist and got an xray, forgetting that I am currently on antibitoics for my sinuses. Would the antibiotics stop anything from showing up on the xray? I'm so worried something has been missed now 😭 the dentist said the teeth all looked in tact/stable still on the xray etc. I actually went because I thought I had an abcess, but he said its a tori. Hard bone. I must have ulcerated it by eating. Now I am worried it was an abcess and the antibitoics I started on Friday night have now masked a potential issue? Would the xrays show infection or anything regardless? Help. I'm so stressed now.
