Can you have a tooth extracted during your menstrual period?

Women should not have teeth extracted during their menstrual period. During menstruation, women's bodies undergo certain changes, including a decrease in blood volume. In such cases, tooth extraction can lead to greater blood loss and may cause prolonged bleeding, affecting normal daily activities during the menstrual cycle. Additionally, women's immunity tends to decrease during menstruation, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections. Since the tooth extraction process may expose them to bacteria, the risk of infection increases.
