Can Teeth Extraction Cause Light Headedness And Dizziness?

I went to a biological dentist and had (7) root canal teeth extracted ((4) of them in one day approximately (4) months ago.e.g. 6,7, 10, 11). Shortly after the (4) were extracted, I experienced intense lightheadedness/dizziness which has persisted on and off until now. Is there any reason to believe the extractions are the cause of this condition? I do not have diabetes or anemia. This lightheadedness has led to bouts of intense anxiety. I welcome your input as well as any recommendations as to any medication that may in the short term curb these sensatins

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

This could be due to side effect of extraction but usually it does not last for too long, dont worry.
Get your BP, Blood sugar examined.
Get the complete examination done once...

Take care!
