Broken tooth infection ?

I have a broken tooth that is infected I’m taking ciprofloxacin 500 MG twice a day I can’t afford a extraction at the moment for it being 500$ my question is what are  the chances of a tooth infection spreading and causing a heart infection or brain infection ?? The antibiotic was prescribed for a urinary infection but I read online that it’s also prescribed for tooth infections .

    If it was prescribed to you and you took it for the tooth infection that's all right to do while you're waiting to get treatment but there is many dentists that will do an extraction for free. Just use your Google search engine to find a dentist with a sliding scale or a free dentist in your area. Don't ever take somebody else's medicine especially something as powerful as ciprofloxacin. That stuff can cause permanent muscle damage your heart is a muscle need I say more

    buy colloidal silver and do some reading on it! Before antibiotics, people used colloidal silver.. what worked then, still works now.. I use colloidal silver for any kind of infection - it's natural, and it works. swish your mouth with it, for about 3 minutes, 2 times a day, and your infection will be gone in no time.. if you stop the infection, it can't spread. 

    Colloidal silver is still used today extensively in burn clinics, and it is put in an infants eyes as soon as it is born - it's great if you want to avoid antibiotics
