This is a really important subject…. I posted about this subject about a year ago and feel it so important, that I will probably repeat this post every six months or so….
(this info will not only save your teeth, but save you a bundle in major dental work down the road)
Luckily I had a dental cleaning scheduled just before I had my first chemotherapy treatment and my dentist gave me a lot of great advice on how to take care of my gums and teeth during my chemotherapy treatment to treat my breast cancer.
He explained that chemotherapy can be very hard on our gums especially due to many of the chemotherapy drugs causing dry mouth. Dry mouth can lead to a host of dental problems including gum disease if dry mouth is left untreated!
I also found that my teeth and gums became VERY sensitive during chemotherapy treatment and unfortunately this lasted for several months after I completed chemotherapy. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to treat dry mouth, sensitive teeth and gums, and to improve dental health ……..
There are specifics on products I found to be very helpful during my treatment that you can read about by clicking below:
