High BP and tooth pulp
Hii, doctor just a little more clearance, please. My BP is very high frequently and it is supposed to damage and block arteries. Do you believe if it could damage my pulp health in any way or make it die? And have you seen this happening to anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi...Meds used for BP have reportedly caused soreness and puffiness of gums in patients as side effects. So it's advisable for you to get scaling done regularly so that gums are not harmed further.So basically it might not directly damage gums but it's side effects may act as trigger for gum diseases...

No. High bp doesn't cause any such issues to the pulp of the tooth .
