----------------------------------------------------------- From: mikedeprinter Message 2 in Discussion Hi John, I put up a post about 2 years ago regarding a dental problem I had. I also had radiation treatments for my pit. tumor. 37 treatments 23 years ago. A couple of years ago I went to get a tooth pulled. The oral surgeon read on my chart I had radiation treatments for a pit. tumor. The Dr. wouldn't extract the tooth until she got my radiation report from the hospital. She told me there is a danger of osteoradionecrosis (I'm sure I got that wrong) she explained the radiation can reduce the blood flow in the lower jaw and prevent healing after extractions. It was determined I was on the borderline for safety but I had the extraction done and everything went fine. I haven't heard about other dental problems.
