I agree that it's worth trying to keep all your teeth. Shortly after my diagnosis, when I was going through a series of consultations with oncology specialists, one of them told me in a rather off-handed way that I might have to have several teeth pulled before radiation. That came as a bit of a shock, and I continued to pursue this point with other doctors, who finally concluded that it really wouldn't be necessary in my case. Today (15 years later) I still have all my teeth.
