What causes nausea and dizziness after tooth extraction?
Patient: Hi, I had my two upper wisdom teeth extracted 2 days ago and I am experiencing waves of nausea and dizziness. I am off the pain killers right now although the dentist recommended I take them for 8 more days. One side was easy to extract the other side, however was harder and they removed part of a bone and sutured it. I feel much better with the medication but the pain isn't unbearable without it. I constantly feel like i'm going to be sick and I am having night sweats. Is this normal? What can I do? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,     I would like to tell you that after extraction the healing process starts and there is increase salivation in the mouth leading to nausea and diziness.I would suggest you to take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.Take the complete course of antibiotics and analgesics prescibed to yoy also take an antacid twice half hour before meals.Take multivitmain suplements.Maintain a good oral hygiene.Take care!Dr Ammara.
