Can Tooth Problems Cause High Blood Pressure?
I had been to the doctor last May and my b.p. was 118/68. I had a crown that was loose in July that had to be put back on using posts drilled into the bone. I had severe pain for 3-4 weeks and after that I ended up in the emergency room due to severe headache and my b.p. was 198/106! I have been on meds since. I recently had the tooth removed because the root was damaged and infected and am in the process of having an implant placed. Could my high b.p. be caused by my tooth problems?

No .. tooth removal/problems do not cause high BP . Pain may be associated with transient rise in BP .
