Why can't you extract teeth during menstruation?

Women cannot have teeth extracted during their menstrual period. The main reason is that tooth extraction will damage blood vessels, and the menstrual period is a period of heavy bleeding. Tooth extraction during this period will lead to increased bleeding, and the blood coagulation function is relatively low, which will cause continuous bleeding after tooth extraction. Therefore, women should stay away from tooth extraction during their menstrual period. In addition to not having teeth extracted during their menstrual period, they should also be careful not to have teeth extracted during pregnancy.

Why can't you extract teeth during menstruation?

1. Reasons why teeth cannot be extracted

During menstruation, women are much more likely to suffer from endocrine disorders than at other times, and their coagulation function may also be disrupted. If you extract a tooth at this time, it is likely to cause continuous bleeding, or even excessive bleeding. Therefore, it is best not to extract a tooth during menstruation. On the other hand, during menstruation, women's resistance to disease is much lower than at other times, which can easily lead to bacterial invasion, so it is not suitable for tooth extraction.

2. Precautions during menstruation

There may be a small amount of bleeding in the mouth after tooth extraction. These symptoms are completely normal and there is no need to worry too much. Do not overwork after tooth extraction and make sure to get more rest. It is best not to touch the wound with your tongue or hands within 24 hours after tooth extraction to avoid infection or re-bleeding. Be careful not to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth within 24 hours after tooth extraction. If possible, talk as little as possible and do not eat too spicy food.

The above is a brief introduction to the question of why you cannot have teeth extracted during menstruation. In fact, as long as you take good care of your oral health, you don’t have to have teeth extracted. Sometimes you just need to have a filling. If you really have to have a tooth extracted, you should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital, so that you can be responsible for your own body.
