[|Human|] hello, I just had a retreat on a root canal with an endodontist, for a molar tooth. After the final retreat I was told there was still an infection and i would have to wait 2 months to see if the infection clears up. The first retreat 4 weeks ago they gave me amoxicillin 10 day supply. I had no problems. The day after the final treatment I have had severe dizzy spells. I went a week later to have my permanent crowns put in, and told my general dentist about the dizzy spells and he said that I need to go back to the endodontis and have her check me out. She told me that it is impossible for me to bet dizzy from the infection or that the infected tooth is causing my dizzy spells, that those dizzy spells are what she called Positional Vertigo. My question is that my General Dentist is saying that this Dizziness is both a Medical and Dental problem, while the endodontist is telling me the exact opposite. I understand without looking at an xray to give me a professional opinion, I just want to know if it is the ongoing infection i have had for 2 years that is causing the dizziness that I have never had before. Thank you very much for your time and answerting my question.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Vertigo is sometimes possible if it involves too much of dental work at each appointment. Other causes for postural vertigo can be due to the disorders that damage your inner ear. If the dental treatment has caused the vertigo due to inflammation, nerve damage, or trauma, I would advise you to stop any dental treatment at this time. I would suggest you to have advice with the neurologist and then proceed with the treatment. If the cause is due to the ear problems, please have it reviewed with your ENT surgeon. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
