At that time I very thankfull. Now I thinking I should of had them all pulled. It now 2 years later I just went to the dentist who said I should see oral surgen to have 5 teeth removed. Well he wants me to go have this hyperbaric Oxgen Chamber treatment for 4 week 2 hrs aday I sit in this thing, then have the teeth extracted go back and sit for 2 more weeks. They are worried about the amount of radiation I had that osteoprosis of my jaw would happen faster if they extract teeth now. Anyone out there have any experence with this.
