Thank you for your reply and information on prosthodontists. After some inquiry, I found out that our dentist is indeed a Maxillofacial prosthodontist. He was also recommended to us by our CCC and we have been seeing since June May 2005 before the start of my wife's radiation therapy. We are very happy with him.
I am happy to hear that your speech has improved with the palate obturators. I am also happy to hear that HBO treatments are not required for root canal work.
