Brooke Mueller Rushed to the ICU After Her Oral Infection Spreads

Charlie Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller, was rushed to the ICU of a Sherman Oaks, California hospital after an infection, apparently caused by her recent emergency oral surgery to remove an impacted wisdom tooth, started to spread. Mueller was admitted with a 105-degree fever. Her lawyer, Yale Galanter, told PEOPLE Magazine “Brooke is in the hospital ICU related to the surgery for her impacted wisdom tooth,” adding “They are trying to get the infection and fever under control. The infection has spread.”

Wisdom teeth extraction isn’t a favorite procedure among dental patients. Chances are, you know someone that has had a “horrific” experience during and after their wisdom teeth surgery. Hearing about Brooks Mueller’s complications after her oral surgery made me think about how this story will affect your decision to have your wisdom teeth removed. Are infections normal after wisdom teeth surgery? Not usually, in fact the most serious complication I have witnessed someone experience after wisdom teeth surgery is a complication known as a dry socket. That being said, the instructions your dentist gives you to follow before your oral surgery, after your oral surgery MUST be followed to a T, in order to avoid mild to serious complications during your recovery process. If you are concerned about your upcoming wisdom teeth surgery, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with your dentist. Brooke Mueller’s experience is rare, and considering the fact that exact details about her complication have been completely overshadowed by the gossip surrounding her turmoil with her husband Charlie Sheen, we may never know exactly why her infection spread.
