Question 4

will gabaphin antbiotic help for tooth pain?

Gabapin (Gabapentin): Is a relatively new anticonvulsant and is not used for dental pain. See your dentist to eliminate any dental pain. It will not go away on its own, so it's important not to ignore the symptoms.

if i am on the pill and have had sexual inter course and need an antibiotic 4 days later for tooth ache is it safe to take?

Safe, yes: As long as you don't have allergies to the medication. Certain antibiotics decrease the efficacy of your birth control pills, so an additional form of contraception (such as a condom) is recommended to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

tooth ache , been on antibiiotics 72 hrs and the pain has spread from my mouth to other places, help?

Accepted Answer

Self medicating ?: If so, not a good idea. Who said you had an infection? You may have a deep cavity and a vital nerve... Antibiotics will do absolutely nothing for your problem. Call a dentist before your pain becomes unbearable. If you are currently under the care of a dentist and you have this problem, call the dentist.

Antibiotics: Every medicine has side effects.  The danger from infection is significantly higher than the danger from the medication side effects.  If you experience any unusual symptoms, immediately contact your prescribing Dentist.

Accepted Answer

: The pain can be caused by a number of different issues: an impacted, fractured, or decayed tooth, a periodontal abscess, or a non-vital pulp. Cannot tell if it is an infection without an examination with a radiograph. You've put off treating a problem that has been festering for a while. Can it wait? Unknown. Should it be promptly treated? Most definitely.
