Some may think I am "beating a dead horse" but I would like to take somewhat of a survey if I may to include patients/survivors as well as care givers who might can answer. I would like to get some idea as to whether or not you were made aware of potential dental issues at any point during your pre-treatment indoctrination. This would include whether you were actually screened on-site by your treating facility, directed to go for a screening on your own or even if just a discussion was had regarding your dental health in general prior to starting treatment? It has been my overall impression after many months that most members here were orally screened/examined prior to radiation treatment. Your response would be most appreciated.
