Question 1

Accepted Answer

Pain relief: You could try applying an alcohol soaked cotton ball to the aching tooth or swish salt water on the aching area. If your blood pressure is well controlled, and especially if you take a diuretic, and you need pain relief,I think you could take an ibuprofen or naproxen sparingly ( unless you can't take them for other reasons) along with Tylenol to get some relief until you see the dentist.

Question 5

can suffering from a toothache be the cause of a really high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If the toothache is accompanied with anxiety of having the tooth treated by visiting to a dentist, then it can cause a higher blood pressure. Anytime there is an infection in the body, it may cause higher blood pressure. However, this doesn't mean that there could be other causes  for the high blood pressure. It is better to see your primary care doctor, as well as your dentist to determine cause.

Accepted Answer

What is your history: It could be many things. From a dental standpoint i would be looking at your overall history. Is it tooth related or jaw related? Is it from trauma? After a thorough examination i would contact your physician to find out what his thoughts are and what future tests may need to be run, if any. Hopefully once all of the information is gathered  a diagnosis and treatment plan can be presented to you.
