Patient: i had seere pain in tooth upper 5_|.the dentist advised root canal . and antibiotic ciploxtz.my question is is the root canal only alternative? can t I go for extraction? direct. I am aged 68 and I have consume ciplox in tons during my life as I suffer from frequent colitis . would it help? I have sever abscess also. or can I use oflaxcin + ornidazole which suits me. Doctor: choice is yours. both rct and extraction will solve your problem, but extraction would leave you with one less tooth . yes you may use ofloxacin ornidazole combination. i can't find any reason except monetary to prfer extraction over root canal treatment thanks
