Thank you all for your reply. I have found a good Dentist that will work with me. So far I have to see the Dentist before radiation begins as I have 2 teeth I know has to be pulled. My oncologist will start radiation at the first of Sept. I had surgery to remove tonsil and still have problems swallowing. Thanks for the information. Angel
