Dental problems from radiation

Hi ChrisB24 

I can’t really help but thought I’d just bump this thread up to the top of the list in the hope somebody might pick up. 
In the U.K. we are usually left with Maxfac or a dental hospital for any remedial work which is free under the NHS but appointments are scarce and many of us are left waiting. 

Hi ChrisB24. I live in Australia so no help to you I am afraid. Here I am looked after by the Dental Hospital as my situation has become more complex over the years  so get any dental issues sorted out free of charge. However in the earlier days after my first op and radiotherapy when my needs were not so complex and I was under the age of retirement I had to go to a private dentist and pay the full cost. Fortunately I could afford health insurance so got most of my treatment at a discounted rate although some treatments were still fairly expensive e.g. a root canal.

It seems every country does things differently.
