High blood pressure is a worldwide issue that can go undetected. Many are unaware of such a problem due to the lack of symptoms in early stages. Visiting the dentist can be a good place to screen for such health issues. Screening dental patients at every dental visit can be of great benefit. The aim of this study was to determine if screening for blood pressure at the dental office is efficient and beneficial for patients.
