Bigtwin,

If it weren't for things like "these kinds of forums" I might have never discovered that most oral cancer patients seem to receive an oral/dental screening prior to beginning their treatments. I would have never known the difference and would have undergone surgery yesterday for Osteoradionecrosis just thinking that it was just one of those things associated with radiation treatment and could not have been prevented.
