Does tooth extraction affect life expectancy?

Generally speaking, tooth extraction will not affect life expectancy. Of course, there are individual cases. If you do not pay attention to some precautions for tooth extraction and do not understand some taboos of tooth extraction, it may cause great harm to your health. For example, tooth extraction when you have toothache and inflammation will be very harmful to human health. In addition, there are some groups of people who cannot have their teeth extracted, such as pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases and diabetes, etc.

These 8 types of people should never have their teeth extracted

1. Pregnant women

Tooth extraction is contraindicated in pregnant women. Tooth extraction in pregnant women who are three months pregnant may cause miscarriage, and tooth extraction in pregnant women who are eight months pregnant may cause premature birth.

2. Habitual abortion

There is a certain risk in extracting teeth in the three months before and after pregnancy. It is easy to cause tooth extraction, and tooth extraction will cause pain and other stimulation during the treatment process. These stimuli can easily induce miscarriage in early pregnancy. For people with habitual miscarriage or habitual premature birth, it is recommended to have tooth extraction after the pregnancy period.

3. Patients with blood diseases

Tooth extraction is contraindicated for patients with blood diseases. For patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia, pernicious anemia, hemophilia, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, tooth extraction may cause severe bleeding and endanger their lives due to coagulation factor deficiency and coagulation dysfunction.

4. Diabetes patients

Diabetics should avoid tooth extraction: because their resistance to bacteria is generally reduced, tooth extraction can easily lead to various infections and aggravate their condition.

5. Heart disease patients

Heart patients should avoid having teeth extracted because they are afraid of it and feel nervous during the extraction. In addition, the traction and pain during the extraction can cause a cardiovascular accident and sudden death at any time.

6. Patients with liver cirrhosis

Patients with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis should avoid tooth extraction as these people tend to have bleeding tendencies and tooth extraction may cause continuous bleeding.

7. Patients with acute infectious diseases

Tooth extraction should be avoided during acute infectious periods: acute hepatitis, active tuberculosis, measles, hemorrhagic fever, and various acute inflammatory periods. Tooth extraction may easily lead to postoperative infection and spread of inflammation, so tooth extraction should be avoided before the disease is healed.

8. During menstruation

Tooth extraction during menstruation should be avoided as it will cause excessive menstrual bleeding and unphysiological blood loss.
