What happens if you have a tooth extracted during menstruation?

Many people choose to extract cavities after they have them, because this method can effectively prevent cavities from growing again. However, for female friends, they must avoid their menstrual period when extracting teeth, otherwise it is likely to cause heavy bleeding during menstruation and may easily cause gingivitis. So what will happen if you extract teeth during menstruation?

It is not recommended to extract teeth during menstruation, and it is not recommended to extract teeth during breastfeeding or pregnancy!

1. It is best not to have teeth extracted during menstruation for women, because the body's stress and immune ability decrease during menstruation, the amount of plasminogen activating substances in the body and saliva increases, and the blood is not easy to coagulate and form blood clots. After tooth extraction, the wound comes into contact with saliva, causing it to heal slowly and making it prone to bacterial infection and bleeding.

3. Be cautious when extracting teeth during breastfeeding, because anesthetics are generally required for tooth extraction. At this time, the anesthetic components will be absorbed by the child along with the breastfeeding milk, which is not good for the growth and development of the child's nervous system. If extraction is necessary, it is best not to breastfeed within 72 hours after extraction. Wait until the anesthetic is basically metabolized after 72 hours before breastfeeding.

2. The first three months and after six months of pregnancy are periods when miscarriage and premature birth are prone to occur, so do not extract teeth during this period. For those with a history of habitual miscarriage and premature birth, it is best not to have teeth extracted during pregnancy. When tooth extraction is necessary, it is best to do it between 3-6 months of pregnancy, and 1-2 days before or after the extraction.
