@mrser52 Hello Elaine:

We do have a discussion group for people who have had head and neck cancer, if you have not been a member of that discussion you might find it interesting. Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/meet-others-living-with-head-neck-cancer-come-introduce-yourself/?pg=5#comment-88020

In this discussion, many people discuss the problem of dry mouth which can lead to gum and teeth problems as a result of radiation. Some have spray bottles that they use to keep their mouths moist.

How long ago were your radiation treatments? Has your oncologist or dentist offered any helpful suggestions? What have you tried?

I look forward to hearing from you again!

Teresa
