Question 1

had tooth extraction due to abcess is felling light headed a day after ok and how many days after is it ok.?

Accepted Answer

That concerns me...: I would make sure to drink adequate amounts of water.  Another potential problem may be that some medications also cause some light-headedness.  I would discuss this with your oral surgeon.  That surgeon understands your particulars and may be able to better problem solve.

Question 2

i feel dizzyness after tooth extraction. is that normal? what can i do?

Happens: You are likely dehydrated and relaxing after your system released lots of Epinephrine due to anxiety. Sit down or lay back a little bit and start to take on lots of fluids. Think liters, not glasses. You should be fine. Good luck.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Consult w dentist: Hard to answer this without more info.  Factors can include the # and location of extractions, how long ago it was done, how well you are healing, the pain meds you are taking, and others.

Question 5

is nausea headache shooting earache & shooting head pain teeth grinding dizzyness light headed  all side effects of prozac (fluoxetine)?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Many of your symptoms appear to be related to a TMJ/TMD issue.  Prozac (fluoxetine) does have some terrible side effects (bad effects,) and should be explored.  But the question is if you had any of these symptoms prior to going on Prozac (fluoxetine).  Get to your Dr. or pharmacist and ask many questions.  You may need more than one Dr. and/or a TMJ/TMD specialist.

Accepted Answer

See your PCP: There are a number of things that can cause a headache to develop after extraction. Often after a tooth extraction you are prescribed opiates (e.g. Vicodin) Headaches are one of the side effects associated with opiates. Another reason could be caffeine withdrawal, stress or cervicogenic headache. Regardless, see your primary care physician for evaluation.

Question 9

are thereany medications for trigeminal sensory pain in left side face/head after horizontally-impacted wisdom tooth extraction & lingual nerve damage?

Accepted Answer

Several: We use different medications to help alleviate nerve pain.  Amitryptilline is an old-fashioned anti-depressant that we never use for depression any more - it helps.  Seizure medications like gabapentin, carbamezapine and valproic acid help.  You may need more than one type of medication and sometimes you find out what works only by trial and error.  See a neurologist for treatment.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Contact ENT: Get back with your oral surgeon. An ENT consult  (ear , nose and throat MD) might help.
