My teeth were cleaned by my periodontist every two weeks during radiation and are now cleaned every two months by either periodontist(4x years) or dentist(2x year).

When were they last cleaned? If it has been some time, I'd get them cleaned as soon as possible. What condition is you mouth in? Will it tolerate a cleaning?

Take care,
Eileen
