Hi Mark,
It is best to see a dentist who performs alot of oral surgery and one who understands the necessity of thoroughly debriding the jawbone of all visible necrotic tissue. The debridement is done at the same appointment, immediately after the tooth is removed.
It may seem odd, but not all oral surgeons will debride the bone as much as they should. If you know of an oral surgeon that you may be comfortable going to, then speak to him about the debridement before you have him remove the tooth.
You are a well informed dental patient which shows you have been doing thorough research. You are on a wise path... please let us know how things are going.

Will a good oral surgeon be sufficient, or should I see someone who specializes in or has extensive knowledge of cavitations? Does the debridement happen as a second visit, and if so when does that take place?
Aloha, Mark
