i am 18 year survivor stage 3/4 tonsil cancer now dealing with osteoradionecrosis in left mandible with infection in lower jaw back molar as well. had. charity dental treatment for several years but no longer. No dental insurance but medicare and supplement F in place. Was on Medicaid before 65 and no oral surgeons accepted it in my area. Hoping Medicare will be more helpful.

i am just starting to have recurring difficult to treat dental infections again. have had three in past 18 years requiring 20/10 hyperbaric treatments for each extraction. just finished third extraction a few months ago after 3 months of antibiotics prior to hyperbaric 20 dives followed by 10 more after extraction. Now the left back molar area hurts and my face is swollen...likely a dental infection as well as osteoradionecrosis already diagnosed in my mandible there.
