I see a lot of people on here that say they lost their teeth, as I have. But I don't see anyone that has had dentures made. From what I read, you should wait at least six months after completion of radiation and chemo before getting dentures made. But do some people just stay "toothless" for the rest of their lives? I start my radiation and chemo Nov. 30th so I am new to everything.
