My Dad is 7 months out from his last radiation and chemo treatment. He is barely able to get his obturator in and out of his mouth (he has very limited motion in his jaw). This is supposed to be a temporary obturator. The thing keeps breaking and his dentist keeps repairing it. Its on its last leg... He has an amazing dentist, who really wants to help, but he can't get his mouth open to get an impression for a new opturator.

He goes in next Tuesday for surgery to drain an abcess in his mouth and to try to free up his jaw a little. Does anyone have any recommendations or help to offer? He has trouble eating or drinking without the obturator, he aspirates on his food/drinks.

Looking for anything to help ease his journey.
