Could The Dizziness And Light Headedness Caused After A Deep Scaling Of Gums Indicate The Beginning Of Kidney Failure?
I went the Dentist last week to have a deep scaling of my gums. It is a very painful procedure and because I am very sensitive to pain it required excessive local anesthesia injections. During the procedure I would tell my Dentist I was lightheaded. She would say it was my nerves and to relax. When the procedure was completed I attempted to get out of the chair and was weak and very dizzy. The Dentist allowed me to relax and gave me water. After 15 minutes I was still shaky and my husband came to pick me up. Eventually after a nap the dizziness stopped. Because this has never happened to me before is this an indication that my liver or kidneys are beginning to fail ?
HI,thanx for your query.deep scaling has nothing to do with beginning of kidney failure or with liver. over dosage of local anesthetic might be the reason of your dizziness. need not to worry, hope this is helpful.if the symptoms persists consult a periodontist.
