Les, I had a thorough cleaning and two fillings redone before I went in for my induction chemo. While I was neutropenic, two other teeth absessed and I had to have them removed while in the hospital. I also have gum disease so none of my teeth were in real good shape to begin with. I am now several months after transplant and plan to have them all pulled in August and do the denture thing. It was not fun to have that happen while I was in the hospital so it is very important to prevent it if at all possible. Good Luck. Lori
