Many of us still have all of our teeth and this is important. If your teeth are in poor shape then perhaps the extractions are necessary. Just be sure to ask again if your teeth are otherwise in good shape.
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
