Nowadays, teeth cleaning has become one of the ways for many people to maintain oral health. Through teeth cleaning, we can remove the tartar adhering to the surface of our teeth, thereby restoring the bright and white surface of the teeth, and also adding some confidence to our appearance.

Some female friends often go to the dentistry department to ask: Can I clean my teeth during menstruation? The following editor will give you a detailed explanation of this tooth cleaning issue that female friends are concerned about, and hope it will be of some help to you.

Menstruation refers to a woman's physiological period, which usually lasts about 4 days (the length of time varies from person to person). Because the uterine wall continues to fall, the estrogen and female hormones in women's bodies are reduced to freezing levels. At this time, women's resistance is relatively poor. If you want to have your teeth cleaned at this time, it is recommended that you wait until your period is over before going for a teeth cleaning. Because cleaning teeth during menstruation can easily cause some unnecessary effects on women's health.

1. Women’s blood coagulation is not high during menstruation. During the teeth cleaning process, your gums are prone to bleeding. Cleaning your teeth during menstruation will cause the bleeding gums to last longer, which is not conducive to the repair of the oral cavity.

2. During menstruation, women's gums become more sensitive. The sensitivity of teeth will increase significantly after teeth cleaning, and during the physiological period, teeth will be more intolerant to stimuli such as cold, hot, sour, and sweet.

Based on the above introduction, can you clean your teeth during menstruation? It is recommended that female friends avoid menstruation as much as possible. Although teeth cleaning is a healthy way to maintain oral health, it will cause certain trauma to tissues such as gums. During menstruation, women's various human body indicators decrease to a certain extent, including hematological indicators such as coagulation. Teeth cleaning during menstruation will cause your teeth to bleed more and increase the sensitivity of your teeth. Therefore, it is recommended that women go for teeth cleaning after their menstrual period.
