Best Antibiotics For Tooth Infection
In this video, we explore dental infections, their causes, symptoms, and the antibiotics used to treat them. Dental infections such as dental caries, dental abscess, gingivitis, and periodontitis are the most common reasons for visiting the dentist. These infections are caused by bacterial invasion of the pulp space or nerve, which can be concentrated or spread to surrounding tissues. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, general discomfort, swollen jaw or neck, and severe pain that does not go away. Antibiotics can be prescribed in some cases to prevent the risk of infection spreading to other areas or when other treatments do not achieve the expected response. The video explores some of the best antibiotics used to treat dental infections such as amoxicillin, azithromycin, cephalexin, clindamycin, erythromycin, and metronidazole, highlighting the health status and age of the patient as important factors in the choice of the indicated antibiotic treatment. The video also provides information on the side effects of antibiotic treatment and recommends using caution when prescribed with other medications or for people with specific health conditions.
