In a lot of people's minds
Tooth extraction is a matter of taking time to go to the hospital
There is not much to think about
But you know what?
In many cases, tooth extraction is not a good candidate
Let's take a look at it today
What are the contraindications to tooth extraction?
01. It is not recommended to extract a tooth when you have a toothache
When a tooth is painful, it is usually due to inflammation, which may be due to a bacterial infection or a disease such as pulpitis or apical periodontitis.
Extractions in such conditions can lead to the spread of inflammation, increased risk of infection, and even more serious complications such as bleeding, increased pain, and dry socket.
Recommendation: Start with anti-inflammatory treatment to control inflammation. For example, a tooth extraction may be considered by taking a drug such as amoxicillin capsules or cefixime tablets until the inflammation has subsided.
02. It is not advisable to extract teeth on an empty stomach
Before a tooth extraction, the health care provider usually injects an anesthetic to relieve the pain.
However, if the patient is given an anesthetic injection in an empty state, it may lead to a decrease in blood glucose, which may lead to adverse effects such as fainting or collapse.
In addition, it is necessary to wait two hours after the tooth extraction before eating, so patients should try to avoid having the tooth extraction surgery done on an empty stomach.
03. Menstruation is not suitable for tooth extraction
During menstruation, the clotting of blood in the body decreases, which means that if a tooth is extracted during menstruation, the blood in that area may be difficult to clot, and it is prone to persistent bleeding or compensatory bleeding.
And during menstruation, a woman's body resistance decreases, and her resistance to bacteria decreases. When a tooth is extracted, bacteria in the mouth can enter and cause an infection.
Once infected, it may not only prolong the healing time of the wound, but also trigger more severe inflammation.
Therefore, in order to protect women's health, it is recommended to avoid tooth extractions as much as possible during menstruation. If you do need a tooth extraction, it is best to do it a few days after the end of your period and consult your doctor before doing so to make sure you are in a fit fit for the tooth extraction.
04. For patients with chronic diseases, control the disease before tooth extraction
It is not that people with chronic diseases cannot have their teeth extracted, but they should only have their teeth removed after the condition is well controlled.
Hypertension:
Patients with high blood pressure should ensure that their blood pressure is within a safe range before tooth extraction.
Because high blood pressure may lead to bleeding during tooth extraction, and even cause the risk of fainting, root breakage, etc.
If a tooth must be extracted, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor and inform the doctor of your high blood pressure condition in advance.
Diabetes:
Diabetic patients need to pay special attention to blood sugar control when extracting teeth.
High or low blood sugar can affect wound healing after tooth extraction and increase the risk of infection.
Therefore, diabetic patients should ensure that their blood sugar levels are stable before tooth extraction and undergo tooth extraction surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
Coronary heart disease:
Patients with coronary heart disease may increase blood pressure and heart rate due to tension, pain and other factors during tooth extraction, thereby aggravating the symptoms of myocardial ischemia and hypoxia and inducing angina.
Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should fully understand the risks of surgery before tooth extraction and perform it under the guidance of a doctor.
At the same time, you should keep your mood calm and avoid excessive tension and anxiety during the tooth extraction process.
