I had a rear molar extracted this morning, at first I was okay but after leaving the dentists practice on my way home, I started feeling extremely dizzy and had black spots appearing in my vision, I had to sit on the floor until it subsided; this happened twice more in the 500m walk to my house. It's been several hours since then, but I'm still getting dizzy spells while walking around in my house.

can be. Sounds like a drop in blood pressure brought on either by the extraction itself, it is more traumatic than people realise and the body does go into a mild form of shock. And/or you might have been given a sedative with the injection to make the extraction less physically/psychologically traumatic, which would also cause a drop in bp and your responses.
If you still feel the same in the morning, phone the dentist and ask him, if not, a visit to the docs to be on safe side, and good luck.

Sounds like the painkillers and such have worn off. I would give the dentist a quick call and maybe call a friend or relative to come and keep an eye on you for the rest of the day and maybe until tomorrow morning and see how you feel when you wake up. Alternatively call NHSDirect - 0845 46 47 for some advice (if your in the UK!?!) You may just need to take some more painkillers and get some food in you to give your body the energy to repair the 'damage' so to speak that a tooth extraction makes. Hope your feeling better soon.

Sounds like your blood sugar is a bit low. Have you eaten normally today? Having a tooth out can result in a mild form of shock and this uses your blood sugars up more quickly than normal. If you've not eaten properly then try a little tea and toast but DON'T make the tea to hot, you don't want to burn yourself and you don't want to start the socket bleeding again. If you still feel there is a problem tomorrow then ring your dentist or your doctor.Also try relaxing a chilling out with your feet up. A little pampering is good for you!

You should go back to the dentist right away. You may still be bleeding after extraction of a molar. Are you still bleeding? Otherwise, you may be having affects of the medicine or an allergic reaction. Where you gased? Either way, go outside for fresh air, and you should go back to the dentist that extracted your tooth.

Sounds to me like you are having an allergic reaction to the medicine they used to numb you.
If I were you, I'd lay down and just rest for a little while. If it does not ease up within the next couple of hours, I would call the dentist office back and let them know what you are experiencing.

call your dentist office. it would be more norm. due to some blood loss, and alteration in breathing while having mouth wide open. if you were given gas that can cause some of that too. i would check with the dentist.

I would just take things easy for the rest of the day and if you still feel the same in the morning call the dentist.
