Suggest Treatment For Jaw Bone Pain When Suffering From Diabetes

My husband is a diabetic and has exposed jaw bone inside of his mouth. It's causing him a lot of pain and he scrapes pieces of bone off but it's not going away. Who should he see and what can be done to heal this? I have no money and thought this was a free service.

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

You did not mention how long he is suffering this and if he had any treatment done before.
Control blood sugar levels immediately.Strict diet restrictions must be maintained.
Exposed jaw bone can lead to severe infection,swelling and pain.
Consider getting it treated seriously.It will not go off by itself.A complete course of antibiotics,with strict diet control and oral hygiene must be maintained.
See a oral surgeon immediately.

Regards.
