Chemo and Dentists

Postby Mona6518 » Wed Apr 19, 2006 6:17 pm

Just got back from my 6 month cleaning at the dentist. Told him all the new stuff since we saw each other last...
He mentioned that chemo has a tendency to do all kinds of strange things to the mouth, teeth, gums, etc.

So I'm now going to be using a special extra flouride toothpaste and promised to up my flossing to 5 times a week (up from my current average of 3).

Anyhow, I just wanted to pass along in case anyone else noticed some changes. You might mention if to your dentist next time you visit.
