It : It is hard to diagnose your problem without seeing you personally or having a radiograph of the tooth in question. If it hurst when you push on it, then it may be from a dead nerve in the tooth, or from periodontal disease. Either way, you need to see a dentist. Ciprofloxacin is not an antibiotic normally used for dental infections, so i would not recommend that you self medicate yourself with an antibiotic that probably will not treat your problem. See a dentist and have it treated correctly before it becomes something major.

Carson : Carson city, penicillin is the antibiotic of choice for oral infections. It may be old fashion, but it works. If your allergic, then clindamyacin. With any medication including antibiotics, you need to be aware of interactions with any other medications you may be taking. I would recommend you speak with your dentist and or physician prior to taking any medication. Hope that is helpful, michael i.

Any : Any antibiotic will help with a dental infection, but ciprofloxaxin is not the first choice, Amoxicillin is. Now, about your issue; it sounds like you may have an infection, but you should only take antibiotics under doctor's orders. Please do not self-medicate. There are other posssibilities of what is going on, so you need to see your dentist immediately to have it evaluated. How long ago was the work completed? How long has it felt that way? Does your "bite" feel normal or do you hit the side that hurts first or harder? Is it tender in the gums above the dental work? The answer to all these questions plus an x-ray will tell a dentist exactly what is going on. Call and get an emergency visit immediately! if it is an infection, it needs to be treated now! good luck!

See your dentist: You do want to protect the investment in your dental treatment. The best thing for you to do now is to see your dentist and find out where the problem is. Your sypmtoms indicate that you do have an infection and antibiotics may be perscribed by the dentist that you see. But you should not just randomly take something, that could do more harn than good and not sovle the problem.

Find out cause: While the cause of your pain may indeed be an infection after all that work, only your oral surgeon/dentist can make sure nothing else is going on. Further, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) would not be my first choice for antibiotic if indeed there is a post-operative infection. Not hte best coverage for germs you find in mouth. So i'd call up the doctor/dentist who did your work, and see them at first available time.

What treatment did: You have? Why do you want to take cipro (ciprofloxacin)? Have you notified your provider? Do you mean permanent partials? Your question is difficult to interpret. I'm sorry at this point I have more questions then answers. Happy to help if i had more information. If you are in pain it would be ideal to call the treating dentist and have them help you immediately
