That is ashame that they are not recommending HBO. HBO Treatments before any dental work to remove teeth and/or after any dental work, especially when radiotherapy has been involved, helps to heal the wound site and helps prevent infections.

Have you been to another specialist for a second opinion? It is just that if you are in so much pain, as you were back in May - 5 months ago, it might be worth checking that out and getting some advice from someone else.

I had a problem with one of mine aching after radiotherapy, and they immediately got an xray and removed it then and there on the spot.
