I had a tooth ache , went to doctor and blood pressure was 159 / 115 , so he referred me to a oral surgeon, said it would be dangerous for him to extract tooth, oral surgeon couldnt see me for a week, so now I have pain in my gum, numbness in my lip and tingling in lip. What could possibly be going on ?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have Increased blood pressure, yes extraction is dangerous.  For this you should consult your physician first get blood pressure controlled by taking medication then consult oral surgeon for extraction.  For temporary relief you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.  For painful gums you can Apply ointment Gum paint twice daily for one week. Hope this will help you.
