Hi,
Just joined the forum, so excuse me until I find my feet.

Firstly, helllo everybody.

13 years post treatment now (35 radio sessions/chemo) my teeth are getting close to requiring something more that my usual dentist’s brilliant skills.

I live on the Isle of Man so the UK is my best (but not only) option.

What is the best way to find the top specialist in the business of treating patients with our symptoms? Or does anyone have any experience of anyone that who could possibly help with a more long lasting treatment of my teeth.

Uppers have been crowned (4 of them) I’m just not sure what can or can’t be done with the lowers.

Regards P

Welcome to OCF! Im sorry but Im in the US and do not know how your medical system works in your country. We do have members from all over the world. You may luck out and someone from your general area will read your post and help you find the right fit for you. Here in the US patients often call their medical insurance companies to get lists of specialists, they also find dental specialists at the larger treatment facilities.
