KristenS,

No, I don’t have dentures yet. When I was about to look into them or implants last year, as all my teeth were removed in 2015 due to all my radiation, over 200Gy, and recovering from a madiblectomy, I had a major heart attack right after that, and on blood thinners since. A few months later, I went to see my ENT for referal to the periodontist, but he told me relax for a while. It’s been a year now, and finally got my cardiologist clearance, so I’m going to look into something as he gave me the temporary ok for several procedures as long as I cut out the blood thinners 5 days prior.

It’s good to take a refresher course in CPR or be recertified, if one can.
