FAQ: Abcess

Oral Cancer Screening Laser
Oral Surgery Resources

Question:
I had a root canal done 18 year ago. It apparently was infected so my dentist re-did a root cannal. It did not work as I developed an abcess. He then performed oral surgery to try to remove the infection from behind the tooth.

This was about 3 weeks ago and I have been feeling light headed and dizzy for about 2 weeks. I noticed that the abcess came back. Is the dizziness a sign of something really bad? ...Visitor from CA

Answer:
I have never heard of dizziness as a result of dental treatment. If you have a severe infection (inclusive of fever), you could be having a reaction to an infection. I would check in with the dentist you saw and explain. You may want to be taking an antibiotic. Hope this helps
