He will need to use them every single day to help his teeth withstand the effects of radiation. This is very very important! My teeth werent so lucky and had severe radiation damage to them. I eventually had them pulled as they were crooked and all loose.
Have your husband enjoy all his favorite foods now as his sense of taste will change for a few months.
