What Causes Vertigo And Tinnitus After Dental Extraction?

about a week after having dental extraction and implant (upper back) I began experiencing severe vertigo. I have tried the Eply maneuver many times with no relief. I am now having tinnitis too. I am 74 years old, weigh 108 pounds and otherwise in good health. Any suggestions please?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, your symptoms of vertigo and tinnitus are not appearing to be due to tooth extraction or implant placement as I have not seen such symptoms to occur due to dental treatments or extractions..
Your symptoms can be probably related to either inner ear disorders or brain related problems..
In very rare cases dental treatment can cause vertigo that can be possibly due to nerve inflammation, damage or trauma.
So my advise to you is to consult an ENT Physician or if possible a Neurophysician and get evaluated so that they can pinpoint the cause and provide a proper management..
For now avoid your dental treatments if you think it is related and take appropriate rest..

Hope you get better soon..

Regards.
