Can clindamycin and metronidazole be used together to treat pulpitis?

Clindamycin and metronidazole can be used together to treat pulpitis. The main cause of pulpitis is anaerobic bacterial infection. Metronidazole is primarily effective in preventing and treating symptoms caused by anaerobic bacteria; therefore, oral administration of metronidazole for pulpitis is appropriate. Pulpitis is an inflammatory condition of the dental pulp caused by bacterial infection. Hence, taking oral antibiotics before or during treatment for pulpitis can help alleviate pain and reduce the inflammatory response, making it acceptable to use clindamycin.
