Can I Extract Tooth When The BP Is 159/115?
I had a tooth ache , went to doctor and blood pressure was 159 / 115 , so he referred me to a oral surgeon, said it would be dangerous for him to extract tooth, oral surgeon couldn't see me for a week, so now I have pain in my gum, numbness in my lip and tingling in lip. What could possibly be going on ?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have Increased blood pressure , yes extraction is dangerous.
For this you should consult your physician first get blood pressure controlled by taking medication then consult oral surgeon for extraction .
For temporary relief you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
For painful gums you can Apply ointment Gum paint twice daily for one week .
Hope this will help you.
