What Causes Fainting Spell Post Extraction Of Molar Tooth?

Hi Doctot quick question. I just got my upper left mollar extracted around 2:30pm today. Around 6:45 i got up to go to the bathroom and change gauze because i was still bleeding. I also use some salt water to clean my mouth. I almost fainted and my hubby rubbed alcohol on me so that helped. Is this normal? Should i seek medical help? Should i stay home and rest all day instead of hoong to work? I have had 2 mollars extracted about 5 yrs ago and i never went through this. What should i do, i don't want it to happen again.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fainting spell post extraction of molar tooth . The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to blood loss , side effects of anesthesia or due to other reasons like inner ear infection, eustachian tube dysfunction, Meniere's disease. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water eat healthy , take proper rest and avoid bending forward . If condition doesn't get well. then consult dentist again . Doctor may also reefer you to ENT specialist for ear problem.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
