Blood Pressure Diseases, Oral and Dental Health

High blood pressure is due to increased pressure or tension in the blood vessels of the human body. High blood pressure conditions are usually not accompanied by any significant symptoms and no fluctuations in blood pressure can be felt thanks to the human body's ability to adapt to internal variables. During the day your blood pressure changes constantly, naturally to meet your different body needs. High blood pressure increases your heart's load as your heart needs to work harder to pump the same amount of blood.

  Factors contributing to high blood pressure:

  Since the causes of high blood pressure are not fully identified it is sometimes difficult to avoid it. Here are some factors that increase your risk of high blood pressure:

  1. Genetic factors: People whose parents have high blood pressure are more likely to develop the same disease than others whose parents do not have any blood pressure problems.
  2. Sex: Males are more likely to face high blood pressure problems Age: In general, it can be said that the older a person is the more likely they are to develop high blood pressure Salt intake: The more salt in the food the higher your blood pressure will be. Salt is the biggest factor to avoid.
  3. Obesity and overweight: are also factors that should be avoided. Smoking, alcoholism and pills Life habits that are based on laziness and lethargy Fear or extreme stress: as some feel when visiting a dentist.

  Blood pressure testing and measurement:

  The only way you can tell if you have high blood pressure is to measure your blood pressure using a painless medical device called chewing (similar to the amount used to measure blood pressure). This tool measures systolic blood pressure (when the heart contracts) and diastolic blood pressure (when the heart rests between each beat).

  
  

  Readings resulting from blood pressure measurement depend on the patient's age and other factors but the higher the readings of the blood are the harder the blood flow is. A regular adult blood pressure measurement is equivalent to 120/80.

  What is the risk of high blood pressure?

  High blood pressure indicates that the heart makes a greater effort to complete the blood circulation process which generates significant pressure on the heart and blood arteries in the body. High blood pressure contributes to a heart attack, a stroke of the brain, kidney failure, eye damage and atherosclerosis. Hardening or narrowing of the arteries disrupts blood and oxygen access to the body's organs, resulting in these organs being unable to function properly.

  What does high blood pressure have to do with teeth?

  If you have blood pressure problems you should notify your dentist. You should change the treatment pattern to suit your condition.

  
  

  Your dentist should measure your blood pressure at each visit to see the severity of your condition.

  
  

  • Simple hypertension (between 120/80 and 150/90): There is a little difference in treatment between a normal human being and a person with simple blood pressure.
  • Average hypertension (between 150/90 and 180/110): Doctors recommend the following: Attending dentist appointments early in the morning Taking short appointments for treatment even if the number of visits increases Take blood pressure treatment regularly Taking sedatives before treatment and painkillers immediately after treatment Avoid drinking stimulants or smoking too much.
  • Acute hypertension (over 180/110): If your blood pressure is 180/110 or more, your dentist will ask you to see your blood pressure specialist. Visiting a dentist is usually accompanied by an additional high blood pressure.
  • If you have severe hypertension (180/110 or more): high blood pressure associated with visiting your dentist can lead to many problems such as heart attacks, strokes and atherosclerosis. Dentists prefer to postpone dental treatment and see your doctor to reduce the numbers.
