When they put in a feeder tube can you still take food and liquids by mouth or is it only the feeder tube from now on?

jc, You can still have food and liquids by mouth.

Thank you Nelie. This is such a helpful forum. Could those who had their teeth pulled share if wearing dentures after treatment went ok. With such dry mouth I would think there would be some irritation? I hope the answer is no.

JC - All my teeth were pulled before I started treatment. After considerable consultation I decided to wait nearly two years after the end of treatment to start wearing the dentures. I am really glad I waited. I now have no problems with them.

The dry mouth gets much better with time. The mouth, cheeks and gums really get tortured with the treatment and it really takes quite a while to heal - but they do heal up. Don't risk ORN by wearing dentures too soon. Its a very serious condition and should be avoided at all costs. Be strong - think long-term. Tom
