Hello,
Since you are already taking antihypertensive, I suggest you to take physician advice and than visit dentist (oral surgeon).XRay will be taken and based on tooth condition ,it will be decided whether to retain the tooth or to extract.since it is third molar ,it's better to get it extracted as the chances of going for infection is more because of food lodgement.
Happy care

Hello,
The normal range of systemic blood pressure in a person is 60-89 diastolic pressure and 100-139 systolic pressure. If the blood pressure is more than 160/95, then the patient should be referred to a physician. If the blood pressure is around 150/80, then the procedure is done under sedation.So,you can go in for wisdom tooth extraction under sedatin.
