Problem after crown procedure
by larandsandy, Nov 21, 2006 12:00AM
Hi, I am in need of a root canal and am very nervous about it because of a past reaction after having a crown installed. A couple of days following the crown procedure, I was awakened by a very severe case of vertigo. A few days after that, I became very weak and faint. I have had mild vertigo previously, from ear problems, but never like this. It lasted a full month and it is something I do not want to go through again. I am worried that this is from the novacaine because I have never had this happen before. This was the first time I had a procedure requiring novacaine from this dentist. Do you think that I am sensitive to something in his novacaine? And what is someone to do in this case? Also, I haven't had another vertigo case like this since (11/05). What do you suggest? I do have many allergies: acetaminophen, thimeresol, penicillin, sulfa. Thanks for your input.

I have had no experience with any patients I have treated having vertigo related to any local anesthetic.I would suggest you see your MD and have this checked out.
