Can a tooth infection raise blood pressure?

Increased BP: Any time the body is under stress, say like from a tooth which is infected, the body reacts. Infections can cause pain and pain makes the body react. Without knowing all your conditions/medications/chronic illnesses, all i can say is it may be possible. Check with your dentist and learn what treatment options you have.

Yes, an infected : Tooth can be related to an increase in blood pressure. Any form of severe pain can cause blood pressure to rise. This is especially serious if you develop an abscess. An abscess can move into contiguous structures and seed bacteria in distant areas of the body. It you have a dental infection please see a dentist asap.
