Since you had surgery there previously, you have a patient number. Just call that department and tell them what’s going on.
Or you can have your dentist make a referral or your doctor.
I assume you went to Oral maxil in 2018. Just call and ask for that desk. Otherwise a local CT should confirm ORN and from there, forward the information to Mayo.

Thank you so much for the info. In 2018 I went to ENT for my tongue cancer surgery. I will ask my dentist for referral.

How do you get an appt at Mayo for consult for ORN? I’m having infection in my gum right now. I think I have ORN.I’m 23yrs post radiation treatment for nasopharengeal cancer and in 2018 I had tongue cancer and had surgery at Mayo, Rochester. I live in California but I want to go there.
