Worried, I had an painful tooth and at the dentists office they decide it was too far gone to save. It was a wedged molar and they had to cut it in half and then pull both pieces. It was a long procedure but I did pretty well, but afterwards when I got up after the long procedure i saw floating stars and fainted dead away. My knees gave way and I ended up getting a terrible bruise on my bottom from the dental chair equipment i hit on the way down. Very embarrassing and painful, my wife was there so that helped and I recovered quickly but it was very scary for me. It was my first episode in a very long time, and now I am scared it will happen again. ugh
What has been helping me is identifying the triggers, mine is dehydration and exhaustion. In your case it was probably just the dentist chair, sitting for a long time, I know I get a feeling of pins and needles in my legs if I sit too long, then stand up and see stars. I wouldn't worry too much, just take your time standing up next time, and if you start to see stars sit back down.
