Hello Emmylou,

When comes to getting treatment for OC, it is very important that the facility has proper personnel as well as the resources to deliver the care whether it is at the VA or private MC. It is very crucial that your husband be evaluated by a dentist who is familiar with oral cancer treatment preferably by a maxillofacial prosthodontist. I am at the Albuquerque VA and I correspond with all VA dentists nationally. If your VA dentist has any questions regarding your husband dental treatment, please have him or her contact me through my VA email address. I can also offer any advice or guidance should you or your husband have any questions. DP
