Lolita,

My dad has a lower partial plate. He kept it in during his first round of radiation but experienced some irritation mid way through treatment. Because he started treatment with them in, he had to continue treatment with them in.

For this round of radiation he took them out.

I would check and see what your RO says.

Good Luck!

Joy
