I'm about to get my teeth removed and immediate dentures put in. Two dentists and my oral surgeon agree that this is the best solution to my current dental problems. I am doing this now, rather than putting it off, so that everything will be well healed if the cancer recurs and radiation is needed.
Has anyone had this done? I would really like to hear about your experience with the after-effects of the surgery/extractions.
