Dental infections can be painful and they progress quickly, but getting help should not mean waiting days for a dentist appointment. Practical Telehealth's licensed providers can evaluate your symptoms online and prescribe antibiotic medication for dental infections, all for a flat $20 fee.

What You Should Know About Dental Infections

Dental infections occur when bacteria enter the tooth or gums, often causing pain, swelling, or sensitivity. If left untreated, they can spread to other areas of the body. Our telehealth dental infection service allows you to receive fast evaluation and treatment guidance, helping you manage symptoms early and prevent complications.

How It Works

After purchasing your $20 visit and completing a short intake form describing your symptoms, a licensed provider reviews your case and determines whether an antibiotic prescription is appropriate. If so, the prescription is sent directly to your preferred pharmacy, usually within hours.

Dental Medication We Can Prescribe

Our providers can prescribe commonly used dental antibiotics such as amoxicillin, clindamycin, and metronidazole, as well as appropriate pain management guidance. All prescriptions are based on your clinical presentation and medical history.

We treat dental infections arising from tooth abscesses, gum infections, impacted teeth, and post-procedure complications such as dry socket infections. If your symptoms suggest a condition requiring urgent in-person dental care, we will let you know clearly.

Dental Care Treatment vs. In-Office Visits

Our service is designed to bridge the gap by providing fast antibiotic treatment for active infections while you schedule proper dental work. We do not perform procedures or replace a dentist, but we can significantly reduce your pain and stop an infection from spreading.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. If your symptoms are consistent with a bacterial dental infection, our licensed providers can prescribe a course of antibiotics online. You will need to describe your symptoms and answer a few health history questions before your provider makes a clinical determination.

  • The most commonly prescribed antibiotics for dental infections include amoxicillin (first-line for most patients), clindamycin (for those with penicillin allergies), and metronidazole (often used in combination). Your provider will select the most appropriate option based on your symptoms and medical history.

  • If you have severe facial swelling spreading to your jaw, neck, or eye, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a high fever, or feel systemically unwell, you should go to an emergency room or urgent dental care immediately. These are signs that an infection may be spreading beyond the tooth.
