Welcome Cindy!

You’ve been through the ringer, and sure others can learn from your experiences too! I’m sure others may be on here soon to offer you their advice!

I know how it is as far as teeth go! I had problems a year after radiation, and slowly jadvteeth problems and loss. The problem too was I was going through cancer treatment so there wasn’t much to do. I’ve been through HBOT twice. My doctors didn’t think it could help my ORN either, so one day they pulled all 29 during surgery, and later on had ORN jaw replacement.

You need impeccable oral care! I haven’t heard you using a prescription fluoride? That is a must!!

I’m sure there is a way to fill in the tooth gap? Maybe changing doctors may help and or to get a 2nd or 3td opinion! Being on Medicare, there is no heath insurance for mouth care, and vision care, although I see a pptimoAfter healing, which was a year, I had a jaw replacement, then a year later, a heart attack, and now in a rehab nursing home, so each year I had no teeth frown
