Question

if you get your period a few days be fore   you have   work done on your teeth or mouth  will that be more painful since your on your period?   
please help thanks

Answer
Hello Lynda,

No the dental work will not be more painful because your mouth and your pelvis are not closely related.  Overall, you may be more miserable because you could have pain in two parts of your body, however.
