Can I pull out my teeth if my gums are inflamed


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
When the gums are inflamed, tooth extraction is generally not recommended.
When the gums are inflamed, the gingival tissue is in a state of congestion, swelling and inflammatory exudation. At this time, tooth extraction may lead to inflammation spread, increase the risk of infection, and even cause complications such as maxillofacial space infection. In the inflammatory state, the wound after tooth extraction is not easy to heal, and bleeding and pain may increase. When the gums are inflamed, the local anatomical structure may not be clear, increasing the difficulty and risk of tooth extraction.
Therefore, if the gums are inflamed, treatment should be carried out first, and the suitability for tooth extraction should be evaluated after the inflammation subsides. For more information, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor.
