I'm worried that my bp will spike at dentist and won't get treatment help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is Common: for a slight increase of bp when you come to the dentist (we don't mean to but we seem to have that affect on people). We have guidelines that allow for that and it is rare that it keeps us from being able to treat you. There are times/procedures that we must either sedate or refer you for treatment or get your bp in range to complete the procedure safely but worrying will not help it be better!

Should adults be getting fluoride treatments? I'm 19, and used to get fluoride treatments at the dentist as a kid, which i actually kind of enjoyed. I haven't had one of those in years now, and am just curious as to why they stop at a certain point.
