Do High Blood Pressure Levels Cause Toothache?

All of my teeth are hurting. I went to Walgreen s the other day and got my blood pressure taken. I take Diltiazem ER 180 MG CAPS (XR-WRH). A couple of weeks ago, I left town without them and didn t take any for about 5 days. I ve been back on it for about 10 days. I forgot the numbers, but i know they were high. I do remember that the top number was 146. Could my hurting teeth be a symptom of high blood pressure.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your teeth issues.

As per your history you are a hypertensive patient and you had draw a conclusion that your tooth ache may be associated with high blood pressure. Clinically if you have no dental related problems associated blood pressure will bot affect your teeth. But if you have any reversible or irreversible pulpitis, here, blood pressure will come into the consideration.
If you have pulp infection and also hypertensive the pain may be aggravated by high blood pressure.

You need to visit a dentist or write a proper history about your teeth to our domain we will provide you the best possible management.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further queries.
