Tomorrow afternoon I will have all of my back teeth, 7 in all, extracted because the radiologist and dentist warned that if not extracted the radiation treatments could cause infection and then severe complications while undergoing radiation treatments for the larynx cancer. They said that once infected which is a very good probability due to the radiation, they would never heal and also the jaw bone could come out with the teeth when trying to remove them.
So question is. Are my molar teeth considered secondary condition to the AO larynx cancer? And are the loss of the teeth due to a service connected condition compensable? If so where in the CFR?
