Hi
T2N1M0 tonsil cancer ....4 chemo 30 radio....finished treatment June 2023
Just had my first dental check up since finishing treatment, was a wee bit apprehensive but all went smoothly, cannot open as wide as I used to but my dentist was happy enough with my efforts, happy enough with my teeth and gums....check-ups now yearly.

Did you ask about a varnish?
Personally I think check ups should be six monthly if you have xerostomia.

.dry mouth is a problem, I will enquire about 6 monthly checks at my next oncology appointment 8 weeks from now.
Ha ha. Ambushed!
Yes please do. Not many dentists are up to speed about our side effects. As long as you’re brushing with Duraphat a varnish can wait.
