Hello Meredith and Jerry:
Just wondering, what's ORNJ? I've had two teeth pulled since my radiation ended in Jan '8, and haven't had any trouble. My dentist knew I had had radiation, but didn't seem concerned. I asked my Radiation Oncologist about it (and whatever HBOis); and she said one tooth wouldn't be a problem. The first tooth was 2 years ago and the other several months ago. Am I missing something as far as getting teeth fixed? They have gone downhill since treatments. Thanks.
