Hi all,

The pain I thought was mouth sores I couldn't see, were my gums rotting.

Since AC, I've had to have a graft where my gums became infected and shrank to nothing and I have a 1.2 cm pocket develop between 2 other teeth.

When I first had these problems and suggested chemo as the source, the thought was dismissed as there is no Science to back this up.

Last week, the Periodontist had a light bulb go off. My problems may be due to Chemotherapy as I have excellent care and hygiene.

So get your Oncs permission to see a Periodontist now. BB
