Cocaine and dental freezing: A Killer Cocktail.

January 14, 2013
Comments are off

Embarrassment?  Fear?  Forgot?

Whatever the reason for not wanting to tell your dentist or doctor that you are using cocaine, it’s important to understand that receiving local anesthetic within three days of using cocaine could stop your heart.

Vasoconstriction could occur in which the blood flow to the heart is decreased.  This will cause an increase in blood pressure resulting in heart palpitations.  This can lead to cardiac arrest and even death.

This is a very serious medical emergency which not only risks your own life but places the dentist and employees in a dangerous situation as well.

Please tell your dentist if you use cocaine. All information given to the dentist and employees of the dental office is strictly confidential.

It could save your life.

Our Patients Say:

  • My wife and I live in Powell River.  Dr. Hynd and his staff are so professional and up-to-date on the latest and best procedures that it is worth the trip.  We appreciate the friendly and caring attention.

  • Dr. Hynd is an excellent dentist. I've been seeing him for about 5 years and he genuinely cares about his patients and is very gentle and compassionate. He's also an excellent implant dentist. He's done one dental implant for me and is scheduled to do another soon. I highly recommend him and his caring staff.

My children transitioned from a Pediatric Dental office to this local office for all of their hygiene and dental care. Couldn’t be happier!
