Specializes in Dentistry

Info: I was wondering what your gp might have told you and if you were given any meds or instructions to alter your liffestyle in any way. The balance issue is a concern and i would think you may have to see an ENT specialist to check you inner ears. You may need some testing- mri, cat scan, etc.
