Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Since radiation, I have had so many problems with my teeth. The top front six are now crowns, the bottom teeth are in really bad shape, they have shifted, I have one that should probably be pulled but my oc doctor says No. I might get something with an n, can't think of it right now and then could possibly lose my jaw....I go with whatever he says. Had a biopsy done Tuesday on a lump way back on flap/tongue, it has been rubbing that bad tooth, praying it is not c again. Thanks for listening!
