Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

As you mention that you have symptoms of dizziness and vomiting post wisdom tooth removal which is very normal thing as it is due to after effects of local anesthesia and due to large amount of blood loss during the procedure.

Need not to worry. I would advise you to follow the post operative instructions and maintain proper oral hygiene. Take plenty of fluids and take soft diet. If it is due to anesthesia it will go away in 2-3 days. If symptoms persist for more than 4-5 days or get worse then consult your surgeon without any delay to rule out condition like nerve injury.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
