Question 5

i have a wisdom tooth coming in. will it cause dizziness, eye pain, headaches, ear aches, and sometimes high bp?  tooth doesnt hurt all times.

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: A tooth that is erupting can cause some referred pain to your eye, ear, and can give you a headache. Dizziness is usually cause by an inner ear disturbance, and transient HBP could be from stress, but not directly from the tooth erupting. Please see your dentist regarding your wisdom tooth and have it extracted if it is impacted or there is a lack of space.

Question 7

help please! is an impacted wisdom tooth making me dizzy and achy?

Question 8

does wisdom tooth removal make u feel dizzy?

Accepted Answer

Dizziness: The anesthesia or sedation may make you dizzy, but the actual procedure should not. Rarely a condition known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or bppv, can occur requiring treatment. If your dizziness persists, return to see your oral surgeon for evaluation and to determine if there's a problem that may require further treatment. Good luck!

Question 9

i'm taking hydro condone for my wisdom tooth pain every six hours, if i don't have anymore pain can i not take the pill because it makes me dizzy.

Accepted Answer

Yes, don't take it!: Yes, this is a powerful medicine with many side effects that should only be taken if you have a lot of pain. The instructions with it should be 1 every 6 hours as needed, not just one every 6 hours. If you have milder pain, tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil might also be effective. 
Hopefully you are seeing a dentist to address the cause of the pain.
