After considerable consultation I decided to wait nearly two years after the end of treatment to start wearing the dentures. I am really glad I waited. I now have no problems with them.
The dry mouth gets much better with time. The mouth, cheeks and gums really get tortured with the treatment and it really takes quite a while to heal - but they do heal up. Don't risk ORN by wearing dentures too soon. Its a very serious condition and should be avoided at all costs. Be strong - think long-term. Tom
