Ciprofloxacin is not used to treat vaginal bacterial infections. Gonorrhea and chlamydia, for instance, do not respond to Cipro. Cipro is not used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Cipro and other fluoroquinolones are rarely, if ever, used for any kind of vaginal infection.

Yes. Cephalexin can be used to treat the gum infections. To cover the anaerobic bacteria, you have to add metronidazole or some other imidazole derivative of your choice to the prescription.

Keflex will not cure bacterial vaginosis. It's more likely to make it worse. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I'm not sure if it "can" but metronidazole or clindamycin would be more preferred choices.
