Ofloxacin like any Fluroquinolones have serious adverse reactions like pheripheral neuropathy,tendon damage, hepatitis to name a few hence in Dental pain and other dental ailments it wil be prudent to visit a Dental Surgeon and go by the advise given to you. Ofloxacin is a second generation antibiotic given in mixed infections and drugs have limited role to play in Dentistry

Hello,
Taking antibiotics alone would not be sufficient to eliminate the dental infection.
U would require to know the cause/source of infection n treat it to get permanent relief... Majoritarily dental infections r due to deep decayed teeth,An visit to dental clinic is necessary n to get an root canal done to avoid future complications...
Pls be prompt.

Hi there. Dental infections involve various strains of bacteria which need variable antibiotic cover. Kindly visit your nearest dentist for a definitive underlying treatment of the infection as dental infection needs treatment locally too beside the antibiotic coverage.

hi, going through your medical history and your recent state of dental infection, it is advisable that you should be evaluated thoroughly and should undergo a culture and antibiotic sensitivity test before being administered any combination of drugs,
