ive got a reacurring infection in the gum on a molar, ive used antibiotics they help get rid of it nearly to the point where its fully gone but I run out and it comes back within a week, is there any antibiotics that will completely kill the bacterial infection completely, so far ive taken clindamycin
Thank you for your query, From the symptoms which you have written, I can presume that you have gum over your tooth which is getting infected again and again. This condition is called peritonitis, in which there is infection of the gum over the wisdom tooth. In such scenario, the infection is due to the food accumulation between the tooth and overlying gum. Antibiotics will help in getting rid of the infection time and again. You can take a course of Metronidazole, this will help. Also consult your Dentist who will be in a better position to suggest remedy for this which include, resection of the gum by later, to name a few.
