Almost 5 months after "the surgery" 20% of tongue removed, margins good and Lymph nodes clear. A couple of weeks ago, out of nowhere,a small tooth literally fell out of the back of my mouth. Being an optimist, I tend to think it was simply caused by changes in my "bite" as a result of new ways of chewing my food. But of course, I am concerned. Anybody ever experience this??

Seeing ENT soon, but am concerned.
