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.
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.
Amoxicillin, clindamycin, cephalexin, penicillin, and azithromycin can all treat a tooth infection. With K Health, you can chat with a doctor for $35 and get a prescription for the medication that is best suited for your infection.
Can I get a prescription online through the K Health app?
Yes! Your K-affiliated doctor will evaluate you to determine what prescription, if any, is appropriate. Once a doctor or clinician determines you need a prescription, he or she will send it to your local pharmacy or mail it to your door, if available.

Can I get antibiotics for a tooth infection online?
Yes! With K Health, you can chat with a clinician for as low as $35/visit and get antibiotics for your tooth infection, if medically appropriate.
What is the best antibiotic to treat a tooth infection?
Penicillin and amoxicillin are the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for tooth infections. When you speak with a K Health clinician, they can assess whether one of those options is right for you, or whether you need a different type of antibiotic or treatment.

Can I use my insurance to pay for this?
No, but it’s cheaper than your insurance copay so you still win!
Can I use an FSA or HSA to pay?
Yes, prescription medication, telemedicine, and telehealth visits are eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) and health reimbursement arrangement (HRA).
You can submit a claim to be reimbursed by your FSA, HSA, or HRA provider whenever you make a payment to K Health for your medication, K Health membership (which includes unlimited Primary Care, Mental Health, Pediatric, and Urgent Care visits), specialized treatment plans, or one-time visit.
If you have an FSA or HSA debit card, it can be used to pay for one-time K Health visits or prescriptions you pick up in-person at the pharmacy. You can't use your FSA or HSA debit card for any recurring payments, which includes a K Health membership or an ED treatment plan.
Does K Health offer discounts on medication?
Discounts are available with the RxSaver Card, which can save you up to 80% on many medications.
Here's how to use it:
Show your RxSaver card (located in the app under "Profile" > "RxSaver Card") to your pharmacist when you pick up your prescription. Ask them to check the RxSaver discount price, and to compare it to your insurance or Medicare plan price (if you have insurance or Medicare). You and your pharmacist can determine the lowest price available.
To get an idea of price before picking up your medication, visit rxsaver.com and search for your medication.
How do I connect with a doctor online?
Simply download the K Health mobile app and start sharing your symptoms with our intelligent system. After a few questions, your doctor will join the conversation to prescribe a personalized treatment plan.
How do I get my prescription?
If one of our K-Affiliated doctors believe it to be medically appropriate, they will write a prescription to a local pharmacy of your choosing. To get a prescription you will be required to submit the following information:
Can I still use K Health if I don’t have a dental problem?
Yes! You can chat with a doctor or clinician through our app for any symptoms. K Health providers can diagnose, prescribe medication and refills, order labs, and more, all online. Learn more about what we treat and our refill policy here.

Are there any conditions that K Health does not treat?
K Health-affiliated clinicians can diagnose and treat most things you might see an in-person primary care doctor for. However, there are sometimes instances when we recommend you see a doctor in person.
For example, ear infections and strep throat are two common conditions that require an in-person consultation for diagnosis. However, K Health-affiliated clinicians can help assess severity and provide guidance on what to do next.
We also don't treat women with pregnancy-related symptoms, or anyone with orthopedic concerns.
We don't prescribe controlled substances, and we cannot prescribe other high risk medications that are subject to abuse. Learn more on our Policy page.
