High BP and teeth pain
First of all, I have BP issues. Whenever my BP goes high, I feel pain in my teeth. So, my question is: "Is high BP supposed to block or damage arteries of teeth?" Will my teeth die because of the BP issues? Have you ever seen anyone's teeth dying due to his high BP?

I dont think your blood pressure is the reason for your tooth ache,i have not come across with such a situation, to my best of knowledge there is no direct association with BP and tooth ache in a healthy tooth .But there is association with an infected tooth and BP. if there is any infected tooth ,when ever your BP goes up, the pressure within the blood vessel of the pulp chamber of tooth may also go up, there by the collection within the infected tooth may exerts more pressure on the nerve endings with in the pulp chamber of that tooth and which will aggravates your tooth ache.
Next Steps
first get a dental consultation to check whether any tooth decay is there.

Hello dear
Dont worry your teeth will be ok. There is no any connection between BP and healthy teeth .I mentioned healthy teeth means if you have any infectious teeth or bleeding gum or week root than it is posible.its a natural process. Any pain in head and neck area increase when your BP increase or in night also when you lay down on bed because it increase blood flow toward head and so on pressure. But its applying only on the unhealthy region. If you feel pain then you have to go for proper oral health check up. It may increase with time. But dont think that BP cause this. You may already have this problem and you feel when it increase .
Hope its help
Take care.

Hey,
According to a recent study it was found that there’s an association of high bp and gum disease meaning that your arterial blood pressure is higher in people having gum disease proceeding to periodontitis. The real culprit here is the plaque and calculus deposits actually.
