I'm so glad Thanksgiving is over. We have sugar overload!!!!
After my husband's neck dissection on October 13, the recommendation was radiation. The preparations included seeing a dentist and placing a peg tube.
On Monday December 1st, my husband will have all his teeth removed.
His gums are receding, and periodontitis was a concern.
Has anyone out there tried dentures or implants?
Is there an advantage of one over the other?
Monday is coming up pretty fast.
Blessings,
Patty / husband Dx with Stage 1 SCC
