Hi Diane!

As patients that have been radiated to the head and neck we have challenges other will not face. One of those challenges is tooth decay and that is generally two fold, from the dry mouth saliva actually helps keep your teeth clean and healthy and the other is that radiation will continue to damage your teeth over time.

Keep with the flouride trays and keeping a healthy mouth w biotene products and probiotics and keep a good relationship with your dental professionals.

Hope that helps

Eric
