Small injuries occur during these treatments. These can be entry points for bacteria and viruses. In order to rule out inflammation or infection, a waiting period of:
24 hours after scaling (dental hygiene) or simple fillings.
1 week after tooth extraction (removal of a tooth without surgical intervention).
2 weeks after discontinuation of antibiotic treatment and disappearance of symptoms after complicated extraction or surgical intervention.
Unfortunately, you cannot donate at the moment.
If you have had a new piercing or tattoo, there is a waiting period of 4 months until your next blood donation. This helps to rule out possible infections and inflammations.
