I've just had my fluoride trays made and was told by my dentist to wear them (with out the fluoride in) during my radiation treatments. He said that having the extra layer in my mouth will help to lessen the radiation damage to the inside of my mouth. Was anyone else advised to do this? I haven't seen my radiologist since given this advice, so I'm curious to see how accurate it is.

Thanks

I survived because I kept hope alive!!! Live, laugh, love and keep fighting hard.
