Faint: Consult your PCP to do blood work to check for sugar& other parameters such as blood count to rule out anemia.

May be other things: Fainting at the dentist's office is the time honored way of telling him how much you respect the power of the drill! Checking your blood sugar is as simple as going to your doctor's office and asking for the test though I'll betcha it's been done. If your sugar were low & if that were the ONLY cause of the faint I'd say maybe you didn't eat a proper breakfast or lunch? Good luck- Tap! Tap!
