I started using my trays 1 month before radiation; I used them almost every day during Tx and I have used them every day post Tx now for OVER, emphasis on OVER, 2 years. I just recently had a very small cavity, first one in maybe 20 years, filled and I had no issues whatsoever. My dentist of 25 years says my teeth look as good now as they ever have so I'm naturally a advocate of continuing good dental hygiene.
