I've given a lot of thought to floride trays and am leaning against them, even if recommended by my dentist.
I am finding more and more links to SCC recurrance and floride in various studies so I am trying to filter that information.
You make a good point about planning though and I appreciate the feedback.
In fact, seems radiation itself has a statistically significant result of recurrance from the radiation itself.
Of course, it could be the classic "chicken or egg" thesis...who knows.
Be well...Michael
