What Causes A Seizure Following Dental Anesthesia?

on my 8th visit to my dentist a month ago, i had a full body seizure as she was numbing a tooth. this tooth had been previously worked on, as well as others. having not found anything different as far as my prescriptions go, prior to the visit, the only thing i can think of was viagra the evening prior. would this cause the reaction to the lidocaine? Thanks.

Hello,

Well, there are a few incidences where viagra interact with lidocaine but depends on the gap of duration in which it was taken and also the doses. So my suggestion is to keep a watch and in case if the seizure happens again. You should immediately consult an emergency room and get evaluated. Do an MRI scan and a blood test for ruling out the cause of the seizure. If needed proper anti-seizure medication should advise.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
