Q: My husband is a dentist. Would Resperate help patients during their appointment in our office or is this a process that takes a while to work? Is there a blood pressure limit to when the dental procedures should be rescheduled?
A: While dental patients may find the RESPeRATE very soothing to use while in the dental chair, it takes regular repeated use to lower blood pressure. Patients should advise their dentist about uncontrolled blood pressure. Depending upon what dental procedure has been planned, simple cleaning versus extensive repair, an appointment might need to be rescheduled until blood pressure is in better control. The American Dental Association discusses blood pressure guidelines and dental procedures at:
