Will my dizziness resolve after a failed RCT tooth removal?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have a failed root canal with an abscess. I have been feeling light-headed, dizzy, and have a blocked ear. I had an MRI and blood tests to rule out other issues, and they are clear.

Can the abscess cause these issues? If so, how long for lightheadedness to go once the tooth is removed?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I would suggest you get the affected tooth extracted as soon as possible because it is not merely an extraction; your dentist will first subside the collected abscess, and as soon as the treatment gets started, you will begin feeling better. Your question about whether other things are correlated, then yes, because the abscess is nothing other than infection, and you must know our bodies are working on blood vessels, lymph nodes, glands, etc., so it does not take much for a virus to spread. Follow up with me after you have begun your treatment, along with an OPG (orthopantomogram).

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
