Anyone that has already been through the experience of the moment wisdom teeth decide to make an impact on your life, and they invariably do at some point, it can be quite a traumatic few weeks in your life in the City of London. Some people may get off relatively lightly, for if after an x-ray, it reveals that the teeth are growing quite normally and it’s just a matter of waiting until they come through, then chewing gum, a few light herbal remedies and the taking of painkillers should be enough to get you through comfortably, fairly pain free and without having to have the teeth extracted. But not all wisdom teeth behave themselves like this and if they cannot grow freely, they can go off in all directions and may never show at all, in these cases, extraction is inevitable. This is operation is best done at the hospital, as the forces imposed on the jaws and head to remove a wisdom tooth are incredible and the mouth is very vulnerable to infection afterwards. In fact, if an extraction is not carried out correctly, serious life threatening complications can set in very quickly. Only in hospital can recovery be monitored properly, especially with multiple extractions. Once out of hospital, there will be pain attached to the healing process which will require painkillers and/or natural remedies such as clove oil to help in the recovery, along with attention to detail when it comes to oral hygiene.
