  2. About Us: You may be wondering why a dentist took your blood pressure at a routine cleaning or prior to a dental procedure. In recent years, many dentists, especially oral surgeons, have begun to take their patients’ blood pressure as a best practice.

  3. Local Anesthetics Contain Epinephrine Epinephrine is an endogenous substance, meaning it is created naturally in the body and distributed as a part of our body’s fight or flight response. Epinephrine increases blood pressure in order to assist the body in reacting to emergency situations. When a dentist uses a local anesthetic or numbing cream containing epinephrine, it can cause your blood pressure to increase. If a dentist doesn’t check your blood pressure and uses a local anesthetic, an individual may be put at risk for a medical Emergency Dental Service.

  4. Dental Anxiety and Fear of The Dentist Many people have “white coat syndrome” or fear of the dentist and dental anxiety. It can be nerve-wracking to have someone in your personal space and many people have a fear of the unknown. If dentists are taking blood pressure when you sit in their chair, they can establish a baseline of your health, or point out any prehypertensive or hypertensive numbers to alert you to see your physician.
