I did want to address your thoughts about grinding the teeth down and leaving the roots there. This is not anything that could or should be done. The reason for this is that you have to remove the roots in order to get rid of the infection. It is essential that you find a dentist that has experience in treating oral cancer patients. I would suggest that you contact the nearest dental school or comprehensive cancer center to get some names.
Good luck and you can contact me if you need any other advice.
