Vertigo after Dental Work

by jlapeze, Mar 04, 2008 05:33PM
Pardon me if this topic has been covered before.  I had a root canal 2 weeks ago, and then 3 teeth prepped for crowns one week later (last Thursday).  

Since then I have been having bouts of vertigo.  Have others experienced this?  If so, would you please share?  

My teeth feel fine, no pain, no swelling.  I am due to go back next Thursday to have 3 permanent crowns installed.

Vertigo relates to me as an inner ear issue. I don't know how old you are but I know a friend in her late 30's that paid a heck of a lot of money at hospitals after some server bouts with Vertigo for them to tell her that she has an inner ear issue that only just surfaced. This think had her throwing up and laid out for the whole day and then she would be ok. Reminds me of when I was in my early 20's and had this rash all over my body totally unexplained... I went to the hospital and they gave me benadryl and it cleared it up. However I never figure out what happen or why it happen.

Vertigo may occasionally be associated with temporomandibular diesrder. You r onset of vertigo attack may or may not be associated dental procedure. Hyperextesion of neck and turn to one side maximally may reduce the blood supply of internal carotid artery to brain and result of vertigo.Seeing medical professional is advised.

I have had vertigo problems too.  The first time was in November 2008, the day after I had an upper molar pulled.  I had it for a couple of days following the procedure, and I have never had vertigo before.   I thought that swelling might be the cause, but yesterday I went in for a gum treatment and now I have it again.  I didn't experience any noticeable swelling from the procedure.  Both times the local anesthetic was strong enough to numb most of my face.  Previous trips these past few months had not produced vertigo, so I am wondering if it has something to do with where the shot is given.

I am also experiencing vertigo and discomfort in the inner ear, immediately following my first root canal procedure.

During my first visit, the root canal file broke in my tooth and after being referred to another specialist the file was removed and my root canal procedure was completed. I still have a dull pain in my chin all day.

However, since the first procedure, I've been experiencing vertigo several times a day. The symptom occurs when I am walking or sitting
up. It's usually worse at night and often comes with a strong headache. I never had a migraine headache and I feel very tired all day.

I am going to see a specialist soon, but could you share your opinion about my case?

On 4/28 (Tues)I had veneers removed from my 6 front teeth & then prepped for caps. Temporary was put on.  Besides the numerous shots, he gave me Valium & them 800 mg of Ibrupropen.  At about 6AM the next morn I had my first wave of vertigo. Since I was in pain, I took more Ibrupropen.(Wed mron).  By Wed. afternoon, I was starting to worry.  Looked up Ibruporpoen & a side effect is dizziness.  I quit taking it & all else.  On Friday I was fine.  I went to the dentist on Fri. as one part of my gums are swollen.  Now on Keflex.  Then today about noon the diziness is back.  I hope this goes away.  Any other comments would be really appreciated.
