Can teeth be extracted in SLE?

SLE patients in remission can have their teeth extracted, but it is not recommended if the condition is severe, such as severe thrombocytopenia, or if a large amount of glucocorticoid is needed. SLE patients in remission can have their teeth extracted; however, if the condition of SLE is severe, such as severe thrombocytopenia, extracting the teeth at this time may aggravate the risk of bleeding; in addition, if the condition is severe enough to require the use of large amounts of glucocorticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone, to control the symptoms, then extracting the teeth at this time may increase the risk of infection, and so extracting the teeth is not recommended when the condition is severe. It is recommended that SLE patients who need to have their teeth extracted should consult the rheumatology and immunology department and the stomatology department for a comprehensive evaluation, and should not have their teeth extracted without authorization.
