Hi,
Dizziness occured could be due to lack of adequate diet before the surgical procedure, stress. It is possible that it could occur the next time. So have a good meal before the procedure and your dentist could prescribe an anti-anxiety drug the night prior to the procedure to reduce anxiety.

Dizziness, which means Syncope, may occur if the patient is too apprehensive and anxious about the treatment, or sometimes because the patient comes empty stomach for the treatment. Now since u have already got a tooth removed you will not be so apprehensive about the treatment. Ask ur dentist whether u need any Anti-Anxiety drugs before the procedure like Valium. Also make sure u eat something before the treatment.
