If iron ferretin level is 9.5, would me being on my period, and going to get my teeth filled for cavities make it lower before it comes up?

See your dentist: Hemoglobin values will generally reach a low normal range of 9.5–10.5 g/dL, so you can easily and safely walk to your dentist for treatment. Good luck.
