I would believe that we could tell our dentists not to use local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors If they are doing work on the lower teeth. (in most cases the upper teeth and above are not radiated directly).
My apologies for the graphic photos, I did not scroll past the text to see them the first time.
Curious that the risk of ORN increases fo all of us as we get older.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
