Can I have a tooth pulled when I have a fever?

Oral inflammation is a common symptom for many people with gum problems. Due to fundamental damage to the gums, there may be a need for tooth extraction, but do not extract teeth immediately if there are signs of inflammation. If the patient has a sore throat, he or she needs to take anti-inflammatory measures before having the tooth extracted, otherwise nerve damage pain may occur during the tooth extraction process. You can't extract a tooth whenever you want. Patients with special conditions are not suitable for tooth extraction.

Can I have a tooth extracted if I have a toothache?

1. Infection and inflammation If the toothache is caused by infection and inflammation, it is best not to extract the tooth first. Instead, perform anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment, and then let the dentist determine whether the tooth can be extracted.

2. Simple nerve pain If the toothache is caused by heat but there is no inflammation, and it is just simple nerve pain, the tooth can be extracted and it will generally not be affected. However, it is best to have a professional doctor from a regular hospital judge whether the tooth can be extracted.
