Is bactrim good for toothache

Answer 1

Normally it is quite difficult for any antibiotic to get to the abscess in an abscessed tooth. The infection is usually somewhere in the root and does not have a good blood supply. If your dentist gave you Bactrim, he probably did not give it to you to treat the abscess, but to treat the infection in the bone below the tooth. The usual way to treat the abscess, is to drill it out. It is not normally just treated with an antibiotic.

Answer 2

Antibiotics, like Bactrim, can be used as an adjunctive treatment along with the local chairside treatment in case of tooth infection, but the primary thing is the local treatment, not the antibiotics.

Answer 4
