How Can Cavities Be Fixed?

I went to the dentist today, they said I have cavities, and am losing my jaw bone, then they gave me a paper to see an oral and maxillofacial surgery DDS, it says "Please evaluate lesions on post palate right and left side" and i cannot read the rest -- ???? Can anyone help tell me what i am sort-of in for??? thanks

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the infection secondary to decay of teeth might have resulted in osteomyelitis means infection of the bone resulting in destruction of bone. or it can be secondary to periapical cyst or any benign tumor of the jaw. you can take a radiograph of the jaw like OPG which can reveal the lesion. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
