can i get a tooth extracted with high blood pressure

Hello! That's a good question. In most cases, it's possible to have a tooth extraction even if you have high blood pressure. However, your dentist or oral surgeon needs to be aware of your condition. They must monitor your blood pressure before, during, and after the procedure to ensure sure it stays within safe limits.

Not informing your dentist about your high blood pressure could lead to complications. If your blood pressure is too high during the procedure, it can result in excessive bleeding, slow healing, and in rare cases, a stroke or heart attack. That's why it's crucial to inform your dentist about your high blood pressure.

No, you should not stop taking your medication unless your doctor or dentist specifically tells you to. The goal is to keep your blood pressure under control. However, you should definitely inform your dentist about any medication you are taking.

Blood pressure less than 180/100 mmHg is typically fine for tooth extraction. If your blood pressure is above this, your dentist may need to adjust your medications or delay the procedure until your blood pressure is under better control. However, different dentists may have different thresholds, and it is always better to consult with your dentist directly.
