Drug interactions may happen in hypertensive patients undergoing dental treatment with real risks of side effects and permanent damage.

Review: The methodology involved and extensive bibliographical research on Bireme and Lilacs databases, Scielo indexer, Google Scholar, and literary work available on the subject. The data collection included papers published in the last 12 years, from 2009 to 2021.

Final considerations: Once the risks of drug interactions in Dentistry are imminent, the routine drug prescription and application must be performed safely and responsibly by professionals and students alike, taking into account the hypertensive patient’s full medical history and understanding the risks that the drug associations may cause.
