Hi
I have always suffered with bad teeth due to grinding so atm I only have 8 left.
My oncologist has stated that removal of remaining will probably be the case due to condition, so I'll have no teeth (at the min I have a partial top palate) plus 8 of own.
I was due more dental work by my own dentist before my diagnosis
My question really is will I need to be toothless until I've recovered or will I have dental work during the recovery stage or beforehand other than removal..
Many thanks
