Dad starts IMRT on Wednesday (tongue tumor removed 4/27) and saw the dentist day before yesterday. He had 1 cavity filled and a second old filling w/new cavity drilled out with a temporary cap placed on it. Anybody know if it's really a good idea to start rad w/ a temp on or if it's better to wait till tooth is permanently fixed? From all I've read about the importance of healthy mouth, I wonder, but, then again, I wonder about everything lately.
