What Causes Dizziness And Low BP After Tooth Extraction?
my wife had a tooth removed at 3:00PM with nitrous oxide and it is now 1:00 am, she is experiencing dizziness and lower than normal blood pressure. We measured her blood sugar and it was 112. Could this be a side effect of the nitrous oxide and what to do about it?

Hi,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dizziness and low BP after tooth extraction which seems to be due to side effects of anesthesia and it could be due to general apprehension due to tooth extraction. Need not to worry about it. Symptoms will subside its own in 3-5 hours. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit oral physician once and get it examined. You should follow all postoperative instructions. Suck on ice pops and do warm saline rinses. Take proper rest.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
