Can High BP Be Caused Due To Injury To My Teeth?
I fell and hit my two front teeth 5 months ago. The left front has healed, the right front remains wobbly. I have been under the care of a dentist since it happened. Recently my blood pressure has risen to 190/90 and dispite medication cannot be controlled. Is there a corrilations between the two events?

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Your BP is definitely on the higher side. BP can be higher after stress either mental or physical. However since it had been five months since your trauma and teeth extraction, it is unlikely that the BP would be high because of the trauma. So there is no correlation between teeth extraction or wobbly teeth and high BP.
You should record your no regularly and if stil readings are persistently higher on the different days, you need to be started on BP medications.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
