Welcome and sorry you have to be here.
Please, Please make sure that all of your teeth need to be pulled. Go to a dentist that KNOWS cancer and the effects of radiation. Some dentists pull teeth that don't need to be pulled. Saving some of your teeth is the best thing that could happen.
Take care,
Minnie
