As I Am Suffering Osteomyelitis Piece Of Bone Is Coming Out Should Go For Surgery?
Ive been diagnosed with osteomyelitis of the mandible. A small peice of dead bone has worked its way out through my gum, with help of dentist who debrided, which relieved a great deal of pain. Now I feel another piece coming through. I have been through two rounds of penicillan but have not had biopsy or testing. I do not feel like dentists are taking this serious enough, what kind of surgeon should i go to, to get a good diagnosis and adequate surgery if necessary? Thank you! YYYY@YYYY
