I had pain in my lower right wisdom tooth last week, had an appointment to have it extracted but the pain went and did not get the tooth taken out now Im experiencing dizziness and feel pressure behind my right eye. Would this all be caused by the wisdom tooth (maybe infection)

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain dizziness and pressure behind the eye when you had pain in lower right wisdom tooth does not seems to be related to wisdom tooth infection while can be related to causes like Migraine, Cluster headache etc..
You need to consult a Physichorougian and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations as per suspected cause can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can take painkillers like Ibuprofen or Tylenol for relief..
As far as pain in wisdom tooth is concerned, although it has subsided by now but as it already had pain there is a possibility that it is infected or gum flap around it has got swollen..
In either of the conditions there can be recurrence of pain due to flaring up of infection..
So it will be better to get proper treatment done by a dentist for permanent relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
