A member asked:
What's the expert opinion, could the pill help fight infection for bad teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your dentist: Self-medication can contribute to the inappropriate use of antibiotics in tooth infection and cause serious complications. An early diagnosis and appropriate dental treatment by your dentist can make a big difference.
