Can a tooth extraction cause a stroke?
A stroke, or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), is a either the result of a clot in a blood vessel in the brain or a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. With a rupture accident, the wall of the vessel is at fault and no, a tooth extraction cannot cause that. When a tooth is extracted, the clot that forms is limited to the boney socket where the tooth roots used to be. The clot cannot travel to the blood stream, and if the clot is lost prematurely, it is lost to the oral cavity and swallowed or spit up and results in a "dry socket". "Dry socket" results in intense sharp pain, but no CVA. However, if a patient's hypertension is poorly managed, and the stress of an extraction is great on the patient, then it is possible to spike their blood pressure and cause a stroke. That is why the patient's health history information is gathered and blood pressure should be checked prior to an extraction. If the tooth is not extracted, it is also possible that the pain can cause a spike in blood pressure and have the same effect.
