Does Norfloxacin work for a toothache?

Diseases causing toothache can be roughly divided into bacterial infection, such as wisdom teeth pericoronitis, periodontitis, and non-bacterial infection, such as dentin sensitivity, etc. Norfloxacin belongs to the antimicrobial drugs, which has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on bacterial infections, and is ineffective on non-bacterial infections.
1. Bacterial infections: including wisdom teeth pericoronitis, periodontitis, etc. Norfloxacin belongs to quinolone antibacterial drugs, its antibacterial spectrum is wide, antibacterial activity is high, and it has a strong antibacterial effect on the majority of Gram-negative bacilli, and it can be combined with local rinsing and medication (for wisdom teeth pericoronitis) or scaling (for periodontitis) to alleviate the pain symptoms.
2. Non-bacterial infectious diseases: such as dentin sensitivity, norfloxacin has no therapeutic effect on it, and desensitization treatment is needed to relieve pain.
However, when the toothache is more important to receive targeted treatment, relying only on drugs often do not get good results.
Drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and it is recommended to go to a regular medical institution to receive professional treatment.
