Can I use nitrofurantoin to help treat a dental infection if that is all I have available at this time? I dont have a regular dentist and it isnt easy for me to get antibiotics. I need 2 take something now and thought this is better than nothing. PLEASE respond quickly!!! Thank You Brent Bearden 443-378-2975 YYYY@YYYY  Feel free to call so I can send pic
Hello have gone through your query. Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic commonly used in urinary tract infections. Nitrofurantoin has poor tissue penetration and is not indicated to treat anything other than simple cystitis (urinary tract infections). If you really can't visit a dentist and I were your treating doctor I would advise you to take lifetime plus clavulanic acid combination if not allergic to it. For pain a painkiller can be taken. Hope this answers your query. Regards
