Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 71 | Brenda thanks for the info. We both have grown up with dental issues. My father had dentures at 40. I have always known that I would end up with dentures but not under these circumstances. I just realize that they have to pull the teeth prior to radiation and then wait for dentures later. I read your profile and want to thank you for all the support you give knowing your DX.
