You might ask your doctors at Moffit if there is any comparable damage to the blood vessels of the jaw from your surgery as there is for radiation. Brian gave two links to the OCF web site on dental complications from TX, and I recommend that you read those(one page back on this thread) If you had radiation, then the threat of ORN would be enough to dissuade your dentist but for me at least the glossectomy and neck dissection surgery did impact my jaw and teeth very much according to my prothodontist.
