My teeth are in great shape. They are pulling my two lower molars that will be in the field of radiation to help prevent osteoncrosis? (sp?). They said the lower jaw bone has a poor blood supply to begin with and after radiation blood supply to that area would be worse and could cause those teeth to rot. So, if I were to need a root canal or have them pulled it could cause some major problems to the jaw itself. Is this not typical treatment anymore? I have to wonder since I am going to a military hospital. Should I be getting another opinion on this? They will be doing IRMT to my right lower retro molar trigone area (where my tumor was).
