Can cipro be used to treat tooth infections?
It can indeed, depending on what bacterium is causing the
infection. However, if you're self-medicating, you should be
advised that with teeth, the infection can more easily encapsulate
inside the tooth and/or jaw, which makes it hard for systemic
antibiotics to reach it. And these infections can be very serious
indeed. Be careful and have a dentist at least look at this one. If
you can't see a dentist, you can always show up at an Emergency
Room -- they have to see you for this.
