Thanks for the in � put. He does have an ENT, oral surgeon, two endodontists � one who did the root canal and one who cleans his teeth, a regular dentist � who is seeing him now and of course the oncologist. He also has a primary doctor at the VA � who basically just prescribes cholesterol meds for him and shows him his dog�s latest pictures. He really did not like the oral surgeon and I didn�t either. He had a general anesthetic for the extraction and he was barely conscious when they came to get me to send him out the back door and home with me. He could barely walk. The oral surgeon also did NO follow up. If he ever needs another extraction we are going to see someone different. Unfortunately down here on this MS Gulf Coast there are not a lot of choices for specialists in any medical areas. Michael likes his regular dentist and the two endodontists. I just am hoping the current antibiotic works. He is pretty good I think about his dental care after all of cancer issues. It just seemed weird to us that three + months after the extraction it would get infected. I gather all the bleeding yesterday really was scary to him and I know hearing about it while I was at work was to me. I may still call the hyperbaric doctor just to ask. Michael isn�t really fond of the ENT either since he has been the source of several post treatment �false alarms� and has also scared us and we know that he and the oncologist frequently don�t agree on things and the oncologist is the one we both trust the most. Thanks again.
