Make your dentist a part of your cancer treatment team!

Never thought your dentist could help with your cancer treatment? They can! Cancer treatments can effect all parts of your body, including your mouth. Your oral health can make a difference in how your cancer treatment proceeds, and an unhealthy mouth can increase the risk of developing oral side effects to cancer therapies and can even interfere with the treatment. 


How can your dentist help? Your dentist can be a very important part of your treatment team!
  • Your dentist can help begin your treatments with a healthy mouth. 
  • Your dentist can relieve oral side effects of treatments.
What do you mean "oral side effects?"
