Even though I was lucky that I need not have any of my teeth pulled out before treatment, my dental problem has been rather serious post treatment. Since there is no saliva to protect my teeth and I am rather lazy to brush my teeth after meals, I have to visit my dentist rather frequently this year to have tooth filling.I always told the dental nurse that I am now working for the dentist. Brian, is it true that tooth extraction is forbidden in the first two years(?) post radiation? I agree that a real chat with your dentist is essential before radiation starts.
