  schema:description "Radiotherapy to the mouth and jaw lowers the jawbone's ability to heal for the rest of your life, so a dentist should check your teeth before treatment starts and take out any that are unlikely to last, giving the gums time to heal. Afterwards, careful dental care for life and telling your dentist about the radiotherapy before any extraction help prevent bone damage called osteoradionecrosis."@en ;
