So glad to hear that no cancer was found!

I know you searched high and low to find a dentist/oral surgeon to work with... so I have a few questions, if you don't mind sharing:
Who/where did you end up going?
Did they use local novocaine into the jaw area or a different type of anesthesia?
I believe he had HBO before the extraction; is that correct? Any needed post extraction?

I know all of us worry about our teeth and the effects of radiation and appreciate your sharing.


Thanks!
Nancy
