Hello,Your father had an episode of memory loss temporarily..this needs eveluation. I dont think there is any significant connection of this with the dental procedure untill there was some anesthetic  which was used in te procedure had caused it.You should make a visit to a neurologist and get his tests done to rule out any other cause which could have led to this episode. May be he will have to get a CAT scan brain and or an EEG. However, it is not advisable to get the tests before meeting the doctor himself as he would be examining the patient and then recommending appropriate tests.Wish you good health.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
