Vertigo after Dental Work

[jlapeze]

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.

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.  My husband is a dentist and we have a patient that suffers this syndrome.  Please do some research and this may help explain your symptoms.

Hello there.  I am 37 and had two molars pulled on 6/27/14.  As of today 07/23/14 I am still having bouts of lightheadedness.  I cannot call them vertigo because the room has never felt like it was spinning.  My husband too feels that it is due to my oral surgery.  I called the surgeon and he very quickly dismissed me and said no it is not related, but that I should see an ENT.  Not only have I seen an ENT, I have have an EKG and a ct scan and a stress test.  All tests came back normal.  I am sick of wasting my time off from work, scared no one will ever really know what is wrong and nervous something may be wrong...are you feeling better mamabear04???

My vertigo is due to iron deficiency body, red blood cells reduced by the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin less than the amount of oxygen the brain, resulting in a sense of vertigo.

I too am experiencing this same thing. I just had the first dental work I've had since middle school. I just got several fillings on the right side of both my top row and jaw. The procedure seemed to have gone well. Very little pain or discomfort.  For the rest of the day, after the local anesthesia wore off, my mouth did hurt a bit. However, the next day I felt no pain. But then, the dizziness and slight vertigo began. Its been 3 days since my procedure and my vertigo has only gotten worse.  I do find comfort reading all these comments and I hope the symptoms subside quickly.
