Since the surgery I can't eat/drink anything really cold or hot because my front teeth are really sensitive. Should I try flouride treatment? any other suggestions? Thanks and sorry for the bombardment of questions the last few days Oh and I didnt have any radiation- the only threads I've found are in relation to radiation therapy
