If you were sedated (put to sleep) for the procedure, that would certainly make you loopy for the rest of the day. Also, if you are taking strong pain relievers (Hydrocodone), that could be the reason.

It could be the after affect of the anesthesia if IV sedation was used. This should be short term and usually wears off quickly.
Hello,

Usually, it is the residual anesthesia that makes you feel loopy after having your wisdom teeth extracted. Were you put to sleep when you had these extracted? The anesthesia's effect on your body goes on after your teeth are extracted. If not, it could very likely be any pain medication (narcotics) you might be taking. People have noted these types of feelings with Percocet and lesser with Vicodin.

My best to you!
