Hello all,

This is my first post, but I have found this board very helpful during my 6 month cancer journey. I was diagnosed in January 2017 with stage 1 SCC on my left retromolar trigone pad. The surgery to remove the cancer was successful and although the healing process has been slow it has been progressing.

Recently I have noticed my gums have become irritated around the surgery site. Over the weekend I noticed that my last molar in front of the surgery area was loose. Went to the doctor yesterday hoping he would tell me it was just a bad tooth or that the tissue removal in the area is the cause. Although he did say that was a possibility, I have a CT scan scheduled for tomorrow and a possible biopsy on Friday.

Has anyone had loose teeth around surgery site? I did not have radiation so that isn't the cause.

Thank you in advance for any comments. Waiting is the hardest part.
