Brief Answer:
Lightheadedness is not related to tooth decay..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain lightheadedness is not due to your bad teeth, however it can be a side effect of Amoxicillin that too is having lesser probability..

Anxiety and panic attacks can also be a cause..

So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..
Take Amoxicillin or any medications only after consulting a Physician..

You should not worry as there is nothing like dying so just relax..

You should also learn deep breathing exercises and meditation to reduce anxiety..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
