Movement disorder : Hand tremor has been linked to TMJ problems and so are dizziness and headache. Your recent tooth extraction could have intensified an already existing jaw problem creating more hand tremor, headache , and dizziness. See a dentist specially trained to treat TMJ problems for an evaluation.

Nerve problem: You could have a problem with nerves going to your hand, or a more central nerve or microvascular problem. See a neurologist.

Tremor: Hand tremor can be caused by a variety of medical issues, including thyroid disease. But if you also have weakness in that hand it is most suggestive of a primary neurological problem, and you should have a neurologist examine you. A neuropathy can occur which impairs the function of one of the nerves to the hand. Also nerve compression in the spinal column or a brain lesion need consideration.
