At about 5 months post treatment, one of my husbands biggest complaints is this spot on his inner gum where the bone is actually exposed, creating a sharp place and associated pain. Last ENT visit, the doctor actually shaved away some of the bone so that it wouldn't be so sharp, but it is still really bothersome. The radiation oncologist suggested it was from the radiation. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? If so, any ideas on getting it to heal faster?

Thanks,
Anita
