Connie, you posted that your husband used cold laser successfully. Are you able to share the laser system you used? I have a wisdom tooth problem that has caused swelling and pain in my lower jaw. I am currently on antibiotics and seem to be responding. The oral surgeon wants to remove my tooth and possibly some bone. He did no tests. I am 80 years old and on a peg tube. My epiglottis was almost entirely destroyed by radiation in 2002 and I aspirate when swallowing. I had a radical neck on the left side. I do not want to do any more surgery.

I have several questions if anyone can answer them. I live in Florida.

Is Hyperbaric without surgery beneficial?

Who can give me an accurate diagnosis of whether I actually have osteoradionecrosis? I have have had CT's and blood tests which show no appreciable white blood count increase. The dentist thought the pain was just the impacted wisdom tooth pushing on the erupted molar but that was before my lower face swelled up and I could not open my mouth.

Can anyone suggest a laser system?

Did your husband, Connie go to UF Shands and if so were you satisfied?
