I am posting for a friend who has a son with advanced neurological Lyme and biotoxin illness from mold toxicity. He likely has jawbone cavitations, as he has been suffering for years with severe pain and inflammation in his jaw, while also bedridden with Lyme.
My friend's suspicion of jawbone cavitations has been validated by a thermogram x-ray that shows severe inflammation of her son's jawbone. It has been recommended that he see a biological dentist or doctor able to do jawbone cavitation surgery.
But it was only recently that her son was diagnosed with biotoxin illness, with markers indicating that he is very sick from this. Do you know if surgery for jawbone cavitations should be delayed until the biotoxin illness has been treated successfully?

I dont know the answer to your question but i see you are in new england. A friend and i had alot of work done by a bio dentist in montreal. It was worth the trip. We were pretty sick but not bedbound
Dentist is not lyme literate but very good at what he does. My friend had surgery on cavitations

I have Lyme disease and had a toxic mold exposure as well. I recently had cavitation surgery and did have infection in the jawbone. I have now started IV antibiotics.
I am significantly better since the surgery. I was having a lot of jaw pain. I also had teeth removed on the other side of jaw as well and they both were causing a lot of jaw, ear and head pain.
I saw a dentist in Nashville. She is a great surgeon, but I had to push to have the teeth removed. I still have a small cavitation on other side of mouth that I will need to deal with. I will have new scans done this spring.
I am slowly trying to figure how to detox the mold. I can't take cholestyromine. I have the gene that doesn't allow me to detox neurotoxins. I have been more focused on infections because I need double knee replacement.
Even though I still have mold neurotoxins in my body, I am so much better being away from the source.

Thanks lpkayak and hammer. My friend is so distressed right now, as a single mom, unable to do the things financially that she needs to do to get her son (and her) well.
Are you saying from your experience, hammer, that getting her son out of the moldy environment should be her priority? Ahead of the dental cavitation surgery?

My personal opinion is get out of the mold. You cannot 100% avoid mold, but if you know where it is you need to get away from it.
In my case, the mold was in a shower drain pain that was leaking. I got better once we removed that drain pan - we actually gutted the bathroom.
This past summer I had no choice but to stay in my sisters moldy house because I was helping to take care of my dying mother. My symptoms were clearly mold related.
Nerve pain in legs was much worse, my brain checked out at her house, burning eyes, halos around car lights at night, reflux, fatigue. I was treating Lyme, but not making any progress.
I had the cavitation surgery once I was no longer in that situation. I had the Dental DNA test done through my alternative dentist as I like to call her.
It was expensive, but I wanted as much info as possible.
