Does Rise In Blood Pressure During Tooth Extraction Affect Brain?

I'm going through post concussion syndrome and I'm worried about a tooth extraction I'm due for soon. I don't need to get put under anesthesia, just numbing the mouth, but I'm worried my rise in blood pressure during the extraction will cause issues with my brain.
Is it safe?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you are suffering from post concussion syndrome that occurs due to mild injury to the brain caused post trauma and the symptoms of post concussion lasts for about 3 months and then resolves gradually..

As far as rise in blood pressure during dental extraction is concerned, the extraction will be carried out only after proper evaluation of your vital signs like monitoring of your blood pressure, heart rate and other general signs..

To avoid blood pressure complications the local anaesthesia that will be given to you will be free from Adrenaline that can cause rise in blood pressure..

Secondly in case if not an emergency, extraction can be delayed for time being and can be proceeded once your post concussion symptoms ceases..

Consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations will be done to decide the further course of treatment and its effect over the brain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
