Hi
I'm a 15 yr throat cancer survivior and now all my teeth are horribly decayed. I've had frequent dental care but not what I should have been having to take care of the decay under the crowns etc. Now I've been going forever to try and figure out the best thing to do. They are suggesting the 20 HBOT before then 10 after the extractions. Did your husband have any issues with that? Also have you had issues with insurance. I only have Medicare and a supplement and they do not want to pay anything for any of it. Not the oral surgery or the anesthesia. Nothing. I need crowns and root canals on all the bottom teeth too. The cost is astronomical. They won't extract those at all unless it is absolutely impossible to do anything else. I'm just afraid of the healing and of my mouth being sore forever. It has never really gotten to where it is comfortable to eat or chew since the radiation. Did you get an advocate from medicare that helped at all. I've been told that might help. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated.
