Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Hi All, I had a second primary (soft palate) back in November, first time was tongue cancer in 2002. Now I am having lots of problems with my teeth, I had 7 weeks of radiation first time, I have an abscessed tooth that is not healing and the abscess is quite large. The endo dentist has given me two rounds of medicine directly into tooth, today he said he will make a decision about the root canal next Wed. Okay, my question is, has anyone else experienced this and had to have a tooth pulled or did HBO help out with this problem....Thanks!
