Could Motion Sickness Be Due To The Extraction Of Wisdom Tooth?

hi i got my wisdom teeth through about 12 months ago, and i have been suffering increasingly from motion sickness also. It occured to me the other day that i only started suffering when my wisdom teeth came through. Could this be a link causing the problem? and if so, will removal then help the problem?

Hello,
Do you have any symptoms of an infection?These include redness, swelling, drainage, and pain. Pressure could cause some issues with your equilibrium. This may affect your balance and give you a motion sickness feeling.
An infection that drains could cause an increase in acid content and have gastric disturbances. This could give you a nauseated feeling.
Keep in mind if your wisdom teeth have erupted fully, are in function and you are able to keep them clean, you should not have discomfort associated with them. Consider having a dental exam to evaluate the wisdom teeth. An extraction may be recommended if problems are diagnosed.
I recommend that you make sure that your blood tests are normal and have a physical if you are due for this. Other systemic problems are more likely to be associated with motion sickness. Your blood sugar level should tested.
I hope this has been helpful. Thank you for your inquiry,
I find this answer helpful
