I have now been in remission for five years after having had cancer of the tongue. My back teeth were removed prior to radiation, and I have been advised to now remove all the remaining bottom teeth and have them replaced with dentures.
Can anyone offer any advice or comments? My intention is to let the gum heal without any temporary dentures, so I anticipate having no bottom teeth for two/three months.
The gums where the intial teeth were removed have receded altogether.
