Much thanks for the advice. The oral surgeon turned out to be quite knowledgeable. The tooth was not impacted, not erupted and not extracted. A bit of a relief since he had already had much work done in the last few weeks. Gearing up for radiation to start in 10 days. Have another meeting with oncologist tomorrow to resolve different recommendations regarding chemo from our second opinion.
