Can I have my teeth pulled during my period?

Compared with people in many countries in Europe and America, Chinese people do not care much about their dental health. They usually do many things that harm their dental health, such as not brushing their teeth correctly, often eating foods that are harmful to dental health, etc. If this continues for a long time, serious dental diseases may occur, and then it will be necessary to extract the teeth. So, can women who are menstruating have their teeth extracted?

Can I have my teeth pulled during my period?

Can't. I went to have a tooth extracted during my menstrual period, but I didn't tell the doctor (because he was a male and I didn't take it seriously). As a result, I bled heavily after the extraction, and the doctor said it might be related to my menstruation. The wound does not heal well because during the menstrual period, excessive bleeding will lead to insufficient blood supply and slow wound recovery.

Slow wound recovery is very troublesome and will increase the possibility of inflammation, infection, etc.

Points to note after tooth extraction:

1. If you have a history of coagulation disorders, hypertension, heart disease, etc., you should take the initiative to tell your doctor so that he or she will pay attention and make emergency preparations.

2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm salt water before tooth extraction.

3. Do not rinse your mouth on the day after tooth extraction to prevent blood clots from falling out of the extraction wound.

4. If there is heavy bleeding on the day of tooth extraction or the next day, a dressing of appropriate size can be placed on the wound.

5. On the second day after tooth extraction, there was still severe pain in the wound, and there was no blood clot in the wound, but there was dirt and bad smell, which was a complication of localized alveolar osteomyelitis. The area should be rinsed alternately with warm saline and 3% hydrogen peroxide daily. Place iodine form gauze strips of corresponding size and add a very small amount of clove oil to fill the wound until the wound is healed and pain-free.

6. If bleeding does not stop after tooth extraction, you should quickly clean the blood in your mouth and remove the free blood clots on the tooth extraction wound. Then place a dressing on the wound. If there is still a lot of bleeding, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

7. You must use mouthwash after meals and before going to bed. Hold it gently for thirty seconds and then spit it out slowly to prevent bacterial infection.

8. Take medicines according to the doctor's prescription and do not reduce the dosage on your own, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

9. Drink more fruit juice and supplement vitamin C and B complex to promote wound healing.

10. Remember to leave the phone number of the hospital or clinic and the name of the doctor, and contact the doctor immediately if there is any emergency.

11. Decline social engagements and avoid excessive drinking. Adequate rest and sleep are necessary.

12. You can drink water and eat semi-liquid food such as porridge, thin noodles, etc. 2 hours after tooth extraction. Do not eat too hot or too hard food, do not drink strong alcohol, do not smoke, and do not eat spicy food.
