Thank you...As far as the type of assistace needed I am not sure, she is coming home on monday. She has been gone for two months now with this. Radiation can't start yet, she still needs to heal more. I am going head and trying to find a dentist while i have this time. She hasn't seen a dentist in 10 years and her long term one died last Dec. All I do know is that she lost all teeth on the bottom and still has her teeth on the top. I wish I could be more specific about the unknown. Thank you for your help. Annabel
