Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 417 | I currently have an exposed mandible (right), my oral surgeon shaves a little off of the (radiated) bone each month to keep it from eroding my tongue (Spurs). BUT, nothing enters my mouth, everything goes into my Gtube, but that has been the case for 2 years. Not being able to salivate is what caused my problem. Could that be the root cause of yours?
