Why did I have a nose bleed after dental surgery?

I have been having treatments over the last few months to get veneers, but due to problems with fitting and sizes, ive had three sets of new temps so far, I got home after 2 hours of removing temps, and scaling, to replace with new temps, and had 16 injections, (i could feel pain all the time) I heard her mention articaine, but not sure if all 16 were this. when i got home, i went to the mirror and realise i had a nose bleed, from both nostrils.. why is this? did i have too many injections or was my nose lining damaged with the injections? (i had 4 up by each side of nose near to my eye via my gums.)


time before this, i had 13 injections..which hurt too! that time i was all dizzy and felt like i was drunk..


Can anyone help?

It sounds like a posttraumatic nose bleed. An artery could have been highly annoyed by all the injections. Articaine (septocaine) also has epinephrine in it.....that's why you felt dizzy and drunk.





Side effects of epinephrine are:


•anxiety, restlessness


•blurred vision


•difficulty breathing


•dizziness, drowsiness


•irregular heartbeat (palpitations)


•nausea, vomiting


•seizures (convulsions)


•skin rash, itching (hives)


•swelling of the face or mouth


•tremors





Please advise your dentist at your next visit of the side effects...especially the nose bleed.





I'd be interested to know how long it took for the nose bleed to stop. Email me if you get a chance.





Good luck with the veneers. I've never regretted my 4 veneers. :)
Reply:It's because of the dentaL SURGERY,THAT i KNOW....If you had too many injections,that might be the problem.if you have a bad flu or something you might get the headache from....hope that helps!
