What are the taboos for women to have their teeth extracted?

For many people, tooth extraction seems to be a trivial matter. Many children have had the experience of extracting baby teeth when they were young. Whether it is extracting baby teeth or removing complex impacted wisdom teeth, everyone's focus is often on "whether it hurts or not", but they ignore that if you don't pay attention to some matters during tooth extraction, there will be hidden dangers. In this way, tooth extraction is not a trivial matter.

Maxillofacial surgeon says

In fact, tooth extraction is related to personal constitution, timing, etc.

Today I want to remind my female friends

Tooth extraction requires "timing"!

Generally speaking, women should avoid these time periods when having their teeth extracted

1. Menstrual period

During menstruation, women's hormone levels change, and the blood coagulation state is different from usual. Tooth extraction at this time will cause more bleeding. In addition, stress resistance and immune ability decrease, and the lysozyme activation substances contained in the body and saliva increase. The blood is not easy to coagulate to form blood clots, wound healing is slow, and the risk of bacterial infection increases. Similarly, dental implants are not recommended during menstruation.

2. Taking contraceptive pills

While taking contraceptives, the decomposition of fibrin in the body increases, making it impossible for the wound to form a good blood clot. Bacteria can easily "take advantage of the opportunity" and cause infection, affecting wound healing.

3. Pregnancy

It is not recommended to have a tooth extracted during the first three months or the last three months of pregnancy. Women often experience pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting during the first three months of pregnancy, which can easily lead to miscarriage during tooth extraction. Women in the last three months of pregnancy are prone to premature birth due to the stimulation of tooth extraction, so tooth extraction is also not recommended. For those who have habitual miscarriage or premature birth, tooth extraction is not recommended throughout the pregnancy.

If the pregnant woman is in good physical condition in the middle three months and has serious oral problems, tooth extraction can be considered. Some patients take anti-inflammatory drugs after tooth extraction, which may be harmful to the fetus, so they should be used with caution.

4. Lactation

Tooth extraction during breastfeeding should be performed with caution, because anesthetics are generally required for tooth extraction. The anesthetic components will be absorbed by the child along with the breast milk, which may have adverse effects on the baby.

If the tooth must be extracted, it is recommended not to breastfeed within 72 hours after the extraction. Breastfeeding can be resumed after the anesthetic has been basically metabolized after 72 hours.

When you do have a tooth extracted

We would also like to remind you to pay attention to a few things~

(The picture comes from the Internet, the copyright belongs to the original author)

1. Make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before you have your tooth extracted. Don't work overtime or drink too much, and relax.

2. Arrange your study, work or social activities in advance. Tooth extraction is a minor surgery, but you need to pay special attention to rest after the surgery. Therefore, it is not recommended to arrange it during busy work, study and examination periods, and of course, before traveling. It is best to prepare 3 to 5 days of rest time.

3. Girls are more concerned about beauty, so we would like to remind all female friends that it is recommended to wear no makeup or light makeup, and not to wear lipstick. When removing makeup, it is easy to touch the wound and cause pain.

4. It is recommended that you wear comfortable and appropriate clothes. Since you will be lying down, it should not be too revealing or restrictive.

5. You must eat before having a tooth extracted. Women are prone to hypoglycemia after being nervous. Of course, don’t be too full because you are afraid of not eating well after having a tooth extracted. If you feel nauseous, you may vomit easily. Another small point is that it is recommended not to eat foods that are too pungent, such as garlic, stinky tofu, etc., because the dentist may be angry if you do so.
