How many days after the end of menstruation can one have a tooth extracted?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
It is generally recommended to wait two to three days after menstruation ends before having a tooth extracted. During menstruation, women's blood clotting function is reduced and their immune resistance is weaker, which may lead to increased bleeding and a higher risk of infection if a tooth is extracted at this time. Waiting two to three days after the end of menstruation allows a woman's body to gradually recover, making tooth extraction safer with less bleeding and lower risk of infection. However, the exact timing should be determined according to individual physical condition and the dentist's advice.
