  • Why does my dentist need to know if I've had radiation therapy?

    Radiation can weaken bone and cause it to be slow to heal. If that part of the jaw that received radiation was to a high enough dose and is where the dental work is needed, depending on the procedure required, you could have slow or poor wound healing. The dentist will want to know: what part of the jaw received radiation, to what dose, and how long ago. The radiation department where you were treated should be able to provide that information, if it wasn’t too many years ago. Most departments retain such records for at least 7-10 years in storage. Some much longer. Good luck getting the information and with your dental procedure. READ MORE
