Hello and sorry you have to be here. The dental industry is nearly as squishing and foggy as the medical industry. It is very hard to get to the truth of reimbursements and such.

The general time between extractions and radiation is about three weeks. My impression was it was better to have the gums healing up pretty well before starting rads.

Generally, three weeks delay to start rads is pretty typical too. Often times it is longer between diagnosis and treatment.

Unless the doctors state the need for urgency you can slow it down. You just need to speak up and ask to reschedule. I did this when I finished induction TPF and said hold on, I need more time to recover before starting chemo-rads. It was two-three weeks delay and I felt so much better going into rads it was certainly worth it for me.

Good luck
