In our daily lives, we sometimes need tooth extractions for various reasons. However, have you noticed that the doctor will ask you about your schedule before extracting your tooth and recommend that you have it done in the morning? Is there any scientific basis for this? Let's take a look.
First, we need to understand the body's biological clock and physiological changes. The body's biological clock and endocrine system are very sensitive to circadian rhythms, and they affect various physiological functions of the body, including the immune system.
In the morning, physiological indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature are relatively low, and the platelets and blood clotting mechanisms in the body are more stable. This means that during the morning session, the patient may have less bleeding and the time to stop the bleeding shorter, thus reducing the risk of post-operative complications.
Secondly, from a clinical point of view, morning tooth extraction helps doctors to monitor the patient's postoperative condition more effectively. After the tooth extraction, patients need to follow a series of post-operative care instructions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise, not spitting frequently, and returning for regular follow-up visits. After the tooth extraction in the morning, the doctor can have enough time to check on the patient's recovery before leaving work and give necessary guidance and recommendations. And if the patient has a tooth extracted in the afternoon, the doctor may not be able to check the patient's recovery before leaving work, which may affect the patient's post-operative recovery.
In addition, the body is highly tolerant in the morning and people have relatively high energy and physical strength in the morning hours, so patients may feel more relaxed and confident when they undergo tooth extraction surgery during this time. This good mindset helps to reduce the anxiety and nervousness that comes with surgery and helps the patient recover after surgery.
In summary, the doctor's recommendation for morning tooth extraction is based on the consideration of the body's biological clock and physiological changes, the need for clinical monitoring, and the patient's psychological factors. In order to ensure a safe and smooth recovery, it is recommended that you try to schedule your tooth extraction surgery in the morning session. Of course, if you have a special situation or if your doctor's advice is different, please follow your doctor's instructions for tooth extraction surgery.
