Cosmetic Dentistry - Cancer Treatment
Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Payson, Arizona
Many people who undergo radiation therapy and chemotherapy are unaware of the effects of cancer treatment on their oral health. However, cancer therapy often can result in oral infections that seriously complicate health. Signs of mouth problems associated with cancer treatment are:
- Dry mouth
- Dental decay along the gum line
- Fungal infections
- Cold sores
- Fragile tissues
- Bone infection
If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, please contact our office. We can help you create a custom program to prevent side effects of cancer treatment in the mouth.
A complete examination and cleaning should be performed prior to starting cancer therapy. Dr. Winterholler can become part of your oncology team in order to monitor the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. As part of your oncology team, we can help prevent oral infection, bleeding, and the formation of sores. It is our goal to help make you as comfortable as possible during your treatment and also to prevent any side effects.
Please call or email our cosmetic dentistry office today to schedule a complete oral health evaluation and we will help you make your cancer treatments the best that they can be.
