Can Metrogyl Treat Dental Problems?

Hi,
I am 32 years old and having the terrible pain in and around my right jaw. The pain and soreness is extending till my throat. I went to dentist yesterday and he says it is a windom teeth problem. He prescribed my Metrogyl. I have never heard of metrogyl being prescribed for dental issues. Could you please suggest if this is the right medicine being prescribed to me. Thanks in advance :-)

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and soreness could be because of the wisdom tooth infection. Yes metronidazole is given ata dose of 400mg tid along with amoxicillin 500mg tid for 3-5 days.
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
