Suggest Treatment For High BP And Diabetes
Question: My father is 58 years old. He has been suffering from high blood pressure & diabetes for more than 10 years now & has to take medicines for both on a daily basis.
He has been suffering from severe tooth pain now & looks like all his teeth have been decayed.
He visited the doctor,& he has suggested to extract all teeth now.
Does this multiple tooth extraction involve any risk considering the existing high BP & diabetes ?
Also, can there be any alternative treatment besides tooth extraction ?
Kindly suggest.
