my two cents: The RO sent Buzz to dentist this week, just to check his teeth before beginning radiation/chemo...she thought that there was ONE that might need attention...Buzz' dentist said "no reason to take it out..it looks fine"..Buzz is almost 77 and still has all of his teeth except for a couple he lost in one of his wars...Korean, maybe? and wears a partial.
I have done HOURS of research re: teeth extraction before radiation, and MY PERSONAL conclusion is that pulling the teeth before radiation just isn't a requirement anymore...Feel free to disagree with me...
