Thanks!delnative said:Hey, Deb
I'm so happy this site and this thread have proved to be helpful to you.
I started the thread by asking a simple question, figuring the discussion would end after a couple of replies. And yet you and maybe some others wound up learning from it and can put that knowledge to good use.
And I think that's pretty cool.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the useful information on dental care. My father has tonsil cancer and has started radiation (2 weeks so far). All they told him was that he could have tooth loss, but nothing about how to really take care of them and I didn't realize that there was actually a protocol out there for care during radiation. I'm definitely going to ask about that tomorrow and find out if there is a dentist around that deals with cancer treatment issues.
Best,
