Why are broad spectrum antibiotics used and what benefits do they provide in comparison to narrow spectrum antibiotics?
Broad spectrum antibiotics are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections because they are effective against a variety of bacteria. This is in contrast to narrow spectrum antibiotics, which target specific types of bacteria. The benefit of broad spectrum antibiotics is that they can quickly and effectively treat infections when the specific bacteria causing the infection is unknown or when multiple types of bacteria are involved. This can help prevent the spread of infection and improve patient outcomes.

What is the best antibiotic for an impacted tooth that has spread infection to the tongue?
What is the BEST ANTIBIOTIC?!?!?!?!? Antibiotics treat infection and its just a matter of what you can and can't take (if you're allergic to penicillin, for example). It sounds like you're going to get some antibiotics from someone who isn't a dentist or doctor and "hope" that helps. Don't do it. If the infection is so bad that it has spread, that's trouble. Secondly taking antibiotics will not make the impacted tooth suddenly go away. Make a dental appointment. Or if money is an issue, contact a dental school to see if you can get low-cost or no-cost treatment. ~ T
