What are dental infections?
What are the signs of a tooth infection?
Symptoms of a tooth infection may include throbbing pain, tooth sensitivity, shiny, red or swollen gums, fever, and facial swelling. In the case of a tooth abscess, symptoms may also include discolored or loose teeth, bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.
What causes a tooth infection?
Tooth infections are caused when bacteria enters the crown of the tooth, through the soft pulp interior, and through to the tip of its roots.
What antibiotics work for tooth infection treatment?
Amoxicillin, clindamycin, cephalexin, penicillin, and azithromycin can all treat a tooth infection. With K Health, you can chat with a doctor for $73 and get a prescription for the medication that is best suited for your infection.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get antibiotics for a tooth infection online?
Yes! With K Health, you can chat with a clinician for as low as $73/visit and get antibiotics for your tooth infection, if medically appropriate.
What’s the best antibiotic to treat a tooth infection?
Penicillin and amoxicillin are the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for tooth infections. When you chat with a K Health-affiliated clinician, they can assess whether one of those options is right for you, or whether you need a different type of antibiotic or treatment.
How do I get my prescription?
If one of our K Health-affiliated clinicians believes it’s medically appropriate, they’ll write a prescription and send it to a local pharmacy of your choice. To get a prescription, you’ll need to submit:
- Your home address
- The address and name of the pharmacy you want the prescription sent to
