Hi there! No, not near a dental school. My regular dentist was able to see him last week, but wanted to talk to his oral surgeon before she would do anything. The loose tooth fell out on it's own, but then he broke another top tooth on the other side. We are near Boston, and that's where we went for his surgeries, so maybe it will have to be someone there who does it. Its just so scary. Sometimes I still feel that dread/ impending doom thing, even though we're almost 3 years past the last surgery, and 4 years post-radiation. I feel like I dont know enough to make a good decision, but I can't find anyone to ask about it.
