I had general field radiation, as my treatment was long before IMRT was around. The treated area ranged from up above my earlobes to just below my collarbone, and I didn't have any teeth pulled. Seventeen years later, I still have all my own teeth. I agree with those who think it's a good idea to get a second opinion about this.
