It is required due to the bill you are about to receive, they don't want you croaking at the pay window.

And fainting doesn't save you since smellings salts will be added to the bill.

Never had my BP taken at a dentist office.

Same..but on the lookout for a new dentist since my guy retired and the rest of the practice he was involved with are HEAVY into upselling.

Your daughter must LOOOOVE you. "Damnit Dad... now I've got to find a new dentist!!!"

My dentist has never taken my blood pressure, although the only major work I've had is two wisdom teeth pulled years ago.

I just had a wisdom tooth pulled a month ago by a different dental practice - no blood pressure taken.

I feel lIke Elaine on Seinfeld - my reputation will precede me to any doctor/dentist I try to go to now. Even vets will turn me away.

Tidewater Dental takes blood pressure before a routine cleaning.

I assumed it was because of recent stories of children dying in the dentist chair while under local anesthesia.
