I kept indoors so as not to frighten children or animals. But it cleared up pretty quickly once the radiation ceased. But the worst aspect of the whole business was the teeth. I'm told that teeth and radiation don't mix. The Consultant Radiologist insisted that all my lower teeth and a couple of upper ones be removed so that the rays could be directed to where they were needed without hitting teeth, and from angles that would avoid damaging the left salivary gland .
Tooth extraction is routine.
Thousands of teeth are taken out every day. Under a local anaesthetic it doesn't normally hurt, though there might be some cracking noises that are not pleasant. I have particularly tenacious teeth. Some of mine that are supposed to have two roots, for example, have three. But for anyone with normal teeth, having some taken out should not be a big problem.
