Dental work after RT

Hi Lyn, I'm pleased to hear you are doing well after your op. As for age I class myself as a recycled teenager.

Take care Ray.

It's great that you had a dentist check-up and got some insights about having teeth extracted after undergoing RT. Your dentist mentioned that if needed, extractions could be done at the dental surgery now that it's been over 5 years since your treatment. That's interesting!

Not only interesting but wrong. 

Hi I’m almost 5 years out no way will my dentist do an extraction I’ve been told by her my ent consultant and oncologist that I will need to attend dental hospital for any extractions.

Yes, because ORN is a lifetime risk. 

I was told not to have teeth out at dentist, I am under a specialist dentist because of mouth opening restriction, I had to have a tooth out 4 weeks ago before I start treatment for recurrence throat cancer and but the specialist dentist wrote to the hospital for guidance and maxilo facial took the tooth out 

I would ask the ENT department for advice because of the risks involved, I was told by the hospital that the risk remains for life
