Many cancer treatments have side effects that can affect the mouth, even making it difficult to eat, speak, chew, or swallow. But this can be avoided if you see your dentist as soon as you receive your diagnosis to discuss your case.<\/p>\n
Dr. Francisco R\u00e1bago is a specialist in this type of intervention, which is why he helps patients who suffer from this disease, carrying out exhaustive monitoring from the beginning until they are discharged.<\/p>\n
Both radiation and chemotherapy can cause a condition called mucositis, which causes redness, inflammation and pain in the skin covering the mouth, tongue and lips. Oral care and hygiene are very important to prevent and reduce the effects, although it is advisable to start them beforehand.<\/p>\n
The most common complication is dry mouth, which increases susceptibility to cavities and makes hygiene difficult. If extractions are necessary, they should be done before radiation therapy to avoid any complications.<\/p>\n
Your dentist and many other types of dental health professionals can help you with oral care before, during, and after your cancer treatment.<\/p>\n
Without a doubt, in these cases it is advisable to stay well hydrated and maintain good dental hygiene.<\/p>\n
