Will they heal properly after radiation treatment?
That's the million dollar question that no one can answer with confidence
Wife 27 yrs post surgery and radiation with bad teeth. Do frequent DDS cleanings to try to keep ahead of issues. Hoping to kick the can down the road and unsure if it would heal if needed extraction or the like.
Dr said the only patients that have to deal with long term side effects are the ones still alive.
God bless and good luck.
