Will taking Cirpofloxacin for the bladder infection i have also help with the toothache i have? I will probably have to get the tooth removed after the weekend, already have had a root canal and one root actually removed on this molar.  At least the molar lasted 3 more years.  i am feeling pressure under that tooth. Want to make it thru the weekend and wondered if this cipro is going to help. I just happened to get these two unfortunate conditions at the same time and was given the cipro from dr. for bladder infection.
Hello there, Thanks for writing your query, Ciprofloxacin is a good antibiotic and can be used for dental infections as well in combination with analgesics to relive the pain and prevent infection. Since your tooth was root canal treated and has gone worse over a period of time with loss of one root, its better you get the tooth extracted consulting an oral surgeon.  After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.  Follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse. I hope this helps, take care.
