Hi Everyone

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what happens with an exposed jawbone. Steve's gotten this as a side effect of his radiation treatment. It's exposed in the bottom left hand side of his gums. We don't know too much yet except we have to see a maxillofacial surgeon but as you guys know, I like to get a bit of info first on what we can expect. I've searched high and low on here and on the internet but can't find any information that I don't need a degree to understand. Has anyone had this after treatment and if so what happens next?

On a good note though it isn't causing him any pain and I'm hoping it stays that way.
