Why do you need to take penicillin until all gone?

josob18 asked:
Ok, my friend told me that he has a tooth ache and so he took some left over penicillin from the last time his dentist gave him some. In other words he did not take the full dose the prior time he had a tooth problem (about a year ago, so he now took it to relieve the symptoms this time. But of course he will not have a full dose for this episode. I was trying to tell him why this is all bad to be doing, but could not remember specifically why. Please help me find a way to explain it to him.
