I got my teeth cleaned about 7 hours ago, and now I feel like throwing up,and my head is pounding and I'm dizzy. The dentist used fluoride and sealant material, and something else I'm not sure of for dermabrasion.
Is this normal? I'm worried that I swallowed something, cause I don't think my mouth was rinsed well enough.
I'm scared I have fluoride poisoning.
Should I go to the ER???? Someone please help me out.
Thank you

Dont rush to the ER right away. Go to the doctor if the pain concists for a few days.
#1. Dizziness/Headache - Sometimes working on teeth sometimes stresses you out from the constant pulling.
#2. Weak stomach - After sealants/cleanings, my stomach feels all gross, and it makes me gag. It happens to people I know, so not to worry.
But like I said, If you dont feel well after a while, try contacting a doctor, because im not one.

I don't think you need to rush yourself to the ER. And you certainly do not have fluoride poisoning. It would take the ingestion of a whole lot more fluoride that what was given to you in those trays. But swallowing fluoride can upset your stomach. I am sure this is all it is. Take something to settle your stomach ie Pepto-Bismal or Malox and I am quite sure you will be just fine. Maybe try laying down with a cold compress on your forehead and or neck for the dizziness.

well as dentist used sealant and flouride definatly for a while you will be feeling uneasy as it tastes wierd , which upsets stomach for a while but sooner it will be feeling allright but even though you feel uneasy you can definatly report to your dentist and as far as flouride poisioning is considered that is surely not gonna occurr as the poisioning dose of it is far far more than that and as its quite practical that some amount can always be swollowed by the pateint so all these modalities are fabricated or prepared keeping these things in mind so there is nothing to be worried about and definatly you neednot go to ER as your dentist is much more skilled at the job and knows far better than anyone else about the procedure he is performing everyday ! have faith in your dentist and still if you have got any further problem then contact your dentist.
pounding head and dizzy feeling is due to stress of the procedure being done and yes flouride has a very little role to play in it!
