I have bad teeth and no matter if I brush/floss regularly & don't eat sweets & quit drinking pop I am still getting pain that is usually associated with infection. I can't remember what antibiotics I was given for my teeth I have clindamycin and cephalexin. All I remember is the Doctor telling me the antibiotics he gave were ones that were good for infection that goes down to bones so does anyone know which out of these that would be?
Which antibiotics are best for tooth infection cephalexin or clindamycin?

They're both effective in their own right. I would say whichever one the DDS opts to administer for you, you may not have a choice outside of what you're prescribed.
The cephalexin is probably enough for it. I've been where you are, its frustrating. Is it your teeth hurting or your gums. Some of the worst pain I've had was a gum infection.
hello kaismama how did you resolve your gum infection. in fact i have been having bleeding gum for years no pains and have been taking medecine but nothing changed will like advices.
