Please have him ask if the teeth really need to come out. I went through radiation and still have all my teeth. It makes eating with less saliva easier.
I understand the fears you have and you can feel at ease coming here to ask for help.
Take care
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
