I had surgery and radiation two years ago for a stage 1 on the left side of my tongue. My teeth were in good shape at the time and I have kept them that way with daily floride and frequent visits to the Dentist. I have a wisdom tooth coming in on the left side of my mouth. It is partly visible. I am afraid it will become decayed or infected. I would like to have it removed. Has anyone had tooth removal after radiation. I understand it is not a good thing to do. My dentist said it can be done as does my ENT, they said infection would be a concern? How much of a concern? If anyone has experienced this please let me know.
