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 $39 and get a prescription for the medication that is best suited for your infection.
Frequently asked questions
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, they will send it to your local pharmacy or mail it to your door, if available.

Yes! With K Health, you can chat with a clinician for as low as $39/visit and get antibiotics for your tooth infection, if medically appropriate.

Can I use my insurance to pay for this?
No, but it’s cheaper than your insurance copay so you still win!
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:
- Your home address
- The address and name of the pharmacy you want the prescription sent to
- A selfie to confirm verify against your submitted ID
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.
