Metronidazole 400mg Tablets for Dental Infection

Metronidazole 400mg tablets are an antibiotic used to treat dental infections caused by anaerobic bacteria, such as gum abscesses. They work by entering bacterial cells and disrupting their DNA, which stops the bacteria from growing and multiplying, allowing the body’s immune system to clear the infection. Metronidazole is particularly effective against bacteria that thrive in low-oxygen environments, making it useful for deep or severe oral infections. It is usually prescribed alongside pain relief or other antibiotics when needed. To ensure effectiveness and prevent resistance, the full prescribed course should be completed, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication. Please remember that you should also book the next available appointment with your dentist as this treatment will not resolve the cause of your dental infection.
