David, it is just a cleaning. I already have my trays and I've already had xrays and an examination, my teeth are healthy. Before my surgery in the hospital the oral surgeons also did an xray to check for cavities as well. So yes, it is just a cleaning.
Cheryl, I'm fortunate enough to not need chemo as well. All the margins in my lymph nodes came back clear so chemo was taken off the table. I'm in for 38 radiation treatments.
I will definitely be looking into the biotene. I already wake up with pretty bad dry mouth, I want to counteract that as much as possible.
