 Joined:  Feb 2014 Posts: 10 |  I have not visited this site for several weeks now but could use some insight. We visited the dentist recently and with so much of the jawbone/teeth removed he needs to see a maxillofacial dentist to create a front bone so that the dentist has something to work with to make dentures will have something to rest on. It requires another surgery I guess with a graft of tissue to do this. A hyperbaric chamber was mentioned since so much bone has been affected/damaged by the massive radiation he has received. This comes from his dentist, not a surgeon nor specialist and I don't know who to contact or what to even ask about all this. I am not sure whether this would be dental or medical. I sure could use some guidance here. Anyone who has been through something similar; please help me.Feeling lost,
