What Causes Dizzy Spells After Tooth Extraction?

My husband just had a fainting spell. He's never experienced anything like this before. He's 44 years young, healthy and just returned from the dentist having his teeth cleaned. He said he felt like he was gonna pass out and then he did.
Watch should he be watching for symptoms wise and when would he need to seek immediate help?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC

Fainting after teeth cleaning is not commonly seen and can only occur due to sudden getting up from the dental chair after long time lying down in same position that can cause sudden dropping of blood pressure...

Yo should wait and watch for the symptoms and if it recurs first of all get your blood pressure checked and also other investigation like ear examination and an MRI SCAN..

HOPE THIS HELPS..

REGARDS..
