I’m currently 19 days post radiation and reading about all of these tooth issues is scary. I was told to be very scrupulous with my mouth care, use a prescription fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouth wash, and see my dentist every four months. I’m hoping since I had 25 radiation treatments instead of the usual 35 it will spare me some of the worst issues but only time will tell.

19 days post radiation, you might be at the bottom and just now starting recovery as radiation effects often get worse for a while once the treatment has stopped. Only 25 treatments too. You were pulled from the fire before you turned crusty brown like most of us.
Let me know how you are doing recovery wise. I know the next few months can be difficult.
