Metronidazole in Dental Treatment Why this medicine is prescribed Metronidazole is an antibiotic. It is prescribed for infections of the gums, and for infection after a dental procedure. An antibiotic is not a painkiller — it does not relieve pain. It is prescribed to treat an infection, or to reduce the risk of one after a dental procedure. Please take every dose, for as many days as your dentist prescribed, even after the pain and swelling have gone. Medicine alone does not repair the tooth or the gum where the infection started — that still needs treatment.
