I have about 80% crowns in my mouth, I had IMRT radiation to the right tonsil area. I had my first dental cleaning in December after treatment ended in early November and had no cavities!!!! I was surprised. I was told to use Biotene toothpaste and Biotene mouthwash and I use it at least three times per day. I buy it at Walmart.
My next cleaning is in April, I go now every three months. I will have to pay for two cleaning's a year and my insurance pays for the other two. Well worth the cost.
