Even with high blood pressure (high blood pressure), you can safely perform dental treatment. The dentist may ask for a blood pressure reading before receiving dental treatment. Local anesthetics can be safely accepted even if they contain epinephrine. In addition, most people with hypertension can safely take anti-anxiety drugs such as nitrous oxide or diazepam (sedation).
There are several drugs that can be used to treat high blood pressure that causes dry mouth (dry mouth) or a taste disorder (change in taste). When the patient is elevated from a slightly flat position on the dentist's chair to a standing or sitting position, other medications may promote syncope.
Some antihypertensive drugs, such as calcium channel blockers, can cause gingival hyperplasia (gingival hypertrophy). One month after someone starts taking drugs, he can begin to develop gingival hyperplasia. Some people's gums become very large and difficult to chew and require surgical correction. If the dentist detects the problem, the patient must follow detailed hygiene instructions and perform more frequent cleaning.
