Most dental infections are caused by more than one type of bacteria. About 50% are caused by anaerobic bacteria alone, 44% by a combination of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, and 6% by aerobic bacteria alone.

The first line of defence is a prescription for Penicillin V, 600mg every six hours, supplemented with 500mg of Metronidazole twice a day for advanced cases.
