What We Have to Offer
We are well aware of the journey you may be going through with your cancer diagnosis. Or you may be a friend or family member of someone who is experiencing this. No matter which category you come under, you probably have a lot of questions and concerns.
Our Priority
We have created this website so that you will be able to gather information about your dental and oral health. Specifically, if you are going through any cancer treatment. Unfortunately, many dealing with cancer and its treatments are not aware that they could end up with some problems in this area. This is not a result of cancer but can occur because of the drugs or other procedures use to treat cancer.
Cancer Treatments
There are several different types of treatments for cancer. The most common ones are:
* Chemotherapy
* Radiation
* Immunotherapy
The specific drugs used in chemotherapy and immunotherapy can cause some side effects that affect oral health. With radiation, it depends on the area being treated. The oral side effects are more likely when the radiation is directed to the head and neck area.
Our Intention
It is NOT our intention to give you medical advice. But it is our intent to educate you about what oral needs may arise from your cancer treatments. This way, you can be prepared for them. We also have given you some tips as to how to help prevent or lessen the effects of these if they do occur.
