If you had an abscessed tooth removed but you still have swelling and pain where the tooth used to be could the infection still be in the jaw or gums?
That depends on how recently you had the tooth removed. If it was a few days ago, some swelling and pain are normal. But if it's been a week or more, that's not good. Yes, the infection could have spread. Call your dentist. It may be as simple as being prescribed antibiotics and/or the dentist may need to see you. ~ T

Will metronizadole help tooth pain?
I am a little afraid to answer your question. If you are a prescribing doctor and you should know the reasons for using this medication. If you are looking through the medicine cabinet in a desperate search for something to help your tooth ache not caring if it was prescribed to you or someone else then while your questions makes sense....this is dangerous territory. If you have tooth pain it is most likely the result of decay that has infected the tooth. Antibiotics will not cure decay or tooth pain. If you have a chronic infection of the jawbone as a result of decay killing your tooth...then antibiotics are used IN CONCERT with dental treatment, NOT ALONE. The use of antibiotics alone to treat a dental condition does nothing to fix the CAUSE of the infection...the tooth. In addition, antibiotics take TIME to take effect, usually 2 to 3 days. So taking antibiotics to relieve pain is never a good idea. My advice is to go and see your dentist. Let them diagnosis your condition, perform treatment THEN write the appropriate prescriptions. SO...in answer...NO antibiotic treats tooth pain.....
