Careful there Cowboy. Dentist equipment is generally same as in Dr office.


BP readings can vary wildly depending on anxiety level, caffeine intake, etc,etc. Only way to get true accurate measure is to have a monitor and record BP at same time of day for a couple weeks and do some averaging.
Not sure you need visits cancelled...thats a bit extreme given the anxiety many of our patients have.
