For
3
years
I've
been
dealing
with
a
mild,
chronic
case
of
pericoronitis.
After
switching
dentists
I
was
referred
to
Guy's
Hospital.
The
referral
process
took
3
months.
Once
I
got
my
first
visit,
I
got
a
CBCT
scan
and
a
second
appointment
all
within
3
weeks.
They
discussed
a
lot
of
different
options
for
me,
which
ones
would
be
best,
and
why.
Decided
to
get
all
4
wisdom
teeth
removed
under
general
anesthetic,
and
waited
an
additional
3
months
for
the
surgery
appointment.
So
in
total,
around
6
months
from
referral
date
to
surgery.
My
appointment
for
surgery
was
at
15:00,
but
didn't
reach
the
theatre
until
18:15.
The
surgery
itself
went
super
smooth.
I
felt
great
after,
and
recovered
at
home
on
a
liquid
diet
for
a
week,
rinses,
and
alternating
between
ibuprofen
and
paracetamol.
For
reference,
my
teeth
weren't
that
complicated
and
I
have
a
high
tolerance
for
pain
The
staff
was
absolutely
wonderful.
They
gave
my
partner
all
the
information
needed
for
the
recovery
period,
all
the
pain
medication,
and
would
have
been
available
in
case
any
side
effects
emerged.
They
also
warmed
me
up
with
a
tube
under
my
blanket
as
soon
as
I
woke
up
from
the
anesthesia,
which
felt
great.
I
can't
fault
my
experience
at
this
hospital
in
any
way.
Waiting
3
hours
past
my
appointment
time
was
tough
without
food
or
water,
and
it's
something
I
wasn't
told
or
prepared
for,
but
I
know
how
busy
and
overworked
hospitals
are
here,
plus
I
was
given
IV
fluids
so
I
felt
fantastic
after
the
procedure.
And
sure,
I
waited
6
months
from
referral
day,
but
I
am
very
thankful
I
could
get
this
done
for
free
under
our
health
care
system.
Were
my
case
more
serious,
I
think
my
waiting
time
would
have
been
less.
But
either
way,
I'm
super
satisfied
with
my
experience
at
the
Dental
department
of
Guy's
hospital!
