I need to talk with his oncologist. This all started because his dentist said his tooth needs to be pulled. He's had no pain (?)
I think we're in the midst of confusion, again. Dentist said he has abscess & dying tooth, easy pull. I challenged him concerned about healing and that he made the suggestion to my parents w/out consulting his MO. He then does that and refers dad to on oral surgeon who said he has no abscess (!) and should do more cleaning, and rinse and wait and see how goes.
My prognosis: he and his tooth will outlive us ;-)
