Hi,
As per your query, severe dizziness and pain in the jaw after extraction seems to be due to excessive pressure applied while extraction and it could be due to nerve impingement.
I would suggest you to continue your medicines as prescribed by the oral physician and if you have any pain or discomfort you can consult your dentist again and get check-up done.
You can get further teeth extraction done as well if those are non restorable otherwise go for RCT. Get proper x-ray done to get checked level of infection.
Do warm saline gargles. Take proper post-op instructions and follow them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
