Girl,

With the passage of time I have learned a lot more than I knew going into it and I too am surprised on the dental issue. I have my next checkup round in late October and I plan to voice my concern to my ENT, Med. Oncologist and Rad. Oncologist. It would seem that at least one of the 3 areas, if not all, would have stressed a pretreatment dental evaluation. Also, I might have signed papers to acknowledge the potential threat but I do not recall even a nurse along the way telling of possible oral/dental issues from radiation. This, even over and above the fact that Emory Hospital here in Atlanta has an Oral/Dental department that works closely with their Winship Cancer Center.
