What Causes Severe Headache After Using Titanium Dental Implant?

I have had titanium dental implants and both knee replacements 2000, 2010, 2012 all successful but in last two years have developed severe light-headedness. I do not have heart or blood pressure problems - my age is 82. Have had a brain scan - negative. I wonder if I have an allergy to the Titanium and if I do, what can be done - I could not have the titanium removed!

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

As far as implants are caused,they do not cause headache as side effects.

you can meet your dentist and get your teeth examined once.There could be an infection or food impaction causing infection.Therefore please see your dentist.There is no need for removal of titanium.
For now try to relax and be stress free and see your dentist for general checkup.
Thanks.
Take care.
