1. Can I have my teeth extracted during my menstrual period?

Tooth extraction is not allowed during menstruation.

Tooth extraction is not allowed during menstruation, because the female body during menstruation will produce an anti-coagulation system, and tooth extraction at this time will cause continuous bleeding. It is worth mentioning that the body's resistance of women during menstruation is slightly lower than usual, and tooth extraction will also cause adverse conditions such as bacterial invasion.

Menstruation is a body system unique to women. During menstruation, not only will the body's resistance be reduced, but the blood will also be more difficult to coagulate than usual. This is an anti-coagulant system formed by the body in order to better excrete the uterine wall, blood and other substances that have fallen off. If a tooth is extracted during menstruation, the blood at the extraction site will not be able to coagulate normally, and bleeding will not stop.

The harm of tooth extraction during menstruation: Tooth extraction during menstruation is not allowed. Tooth extraction during menstruation can easily cause various problems in the oral cavity.

2. Why can’t you extract teeth during menstruation?

This is because women's endocrine balance is affected to a certain extent during menstruation, and the body will also undergo some mutual changes. At this time, the elasticity of blood vessels increases, and the contraction ability of blood vessels decreases, making it easy to bleed after rupture.

In addition, women's platelet count will undergo significant changes during menstruation, often decreasing on the first day of menstruation and returning to the original number on the third or fourth day. In addition, the pain nerves of women during menstruation are more sensitive, and the body's resistance is relatively weak. Therefore, patients who undergo tooth extraction during menstruation feel more sick and are prone to infection. Therefore, any traumatic examination and treatment of the human body must be avoided during the menstrual period as much as possible.

During menstruation, the uterine wall of the body can release more tissue activating substances, which can activate the free fatty acid lysozyme in the blood into free fatty acid lysozyme with anti-coagulant effect, thereby increasing the body's bleeding tendency. Therefore, tooth extraction (or surgical treatment) during menstruation may cause excessive bleeding, easily lead to wound infection, and be difficult to heal.

The best time for women to have their teeth extracted is 8-14 days after their menstrual period. This is the best time for women to treat dental diseases, with the 10th day after menstruation being the best. At this time, there is less bleeding, less pain, a low postoperative infection rate, and wound healing is fast. Women should choose this time to treat dental diseases.
