Many people have experienced tooth extraction, which is a common and relatively minor procedure. However, the discomfort during extraction is significant. Although anesthesia is administered, the subsequent pain can be quite intense for most individuals. To ensure safety, there are several important precautions to follow both before and after the procedure.
Pre-Extraction Considerations:
Women with specific conditions or experiences:
Menstrual period, pregnancy, history of habitual miscarriage.
History of myocardial infarction:
Extraction under medical supervision may be considered only 6 months after the most recent myocardial infarction.
Hypertension patients:
Ensure adequate rest and blood pressure control before extraction. Proceed only after blood pressure stabilizes, under ECG monitoring.
Diabetes patients:
Maintain good blood sugar control prior to surgery. Take antibiotics for 3 days before extraction to prevent wound infection.
Individuals with acute inflammation:
Postpone extraction.
Patients with severe blood disorders:
Individuals with conditions such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, or leukemia should generally undergo treatment or achieve disease control before considering extraction.
Liver disease:
Patients with hepatitis, cirrhosis, or impaired liver function are prone to bleeding complications. Consult your doctor to determine suitability for extraction.
Kidney disease:
Individuals with renal failure or severe kidney disease should also avoid tooth extraction. Those with mild kidney disease may receive antibiotics for 2-3 days prior to extraction.
Hyperthyroidism:
Infection, anxiety, or surgery may trigger a thyroid crisis, potentially leading to rapid death. Preoperative evaluation is required before extraction.
