I had a dental oncologist (10 years ago) who was excellent when I lived in Orange County (I think you are in SF, yes?). His name is Dr. Nelson Lowe (714-550-7474) and he is in Santa Ana. If you call him he might have referrals for your local area. If you can’t find anyone near you, he is worth a visit (call first to make sure he can help your situation).
