Headache after Root canal treatment
My mother had a root canal done a few weeks ago and yesterday she gave measurements for an artificial tooth cap . The doctor did some procedure to separate her gums a little from the tooth so he could make space to fix the cap. During this he also cut her gums somehow and it was bleeding for some time. Also, ever since she's had a slight toothache accompanied with dizziness and headache. Is this normal ?

Get to an headache needs no panicking. It may be a mere correlation or if otherwise also the dentist will always give you the prescription for pain. Don't worry.

It could be due to slight toothache radiating to the head due to the procedure being done. Kindly get the crown cemented once the pain disappears completely
