"Can the diabetes undergo tooth extraction?" is a common question among patients and their families. Dental problems are one of the complications of diabetes. Therefore, whether a diabetic patient can undergo tooth extraction depends on their blood sugar levels measured before the procedure.

Tooth extraction is the last resort that a dentist must consider when the damaged teeth cannot be preserved any longer. The dentist will administer anesthesia before the extraction to minimize pain throughout the procedure. Many people often wonder what medications to take before and after the tooth extraction, and whether pain relief medication is needed once the anesthesia wears off.
