Some do some don't, they are starting to get up on it lately. It's best to have the checkup by your Dentist so that the ENT and Oncologist will have an idea as to the health of your teeth and gums. Good luck. We have a very good dentist in OCF that has fought this stuff. I bet he will post for you with good advice.
