Complications In The Mouth Related To Cancer Treatment...
 Each
year about 400,000 people (including many in the Lexington,
Georgetown and Versailles areas) with cancer develop
treatment-related complications in the mouth ranging from lesions to
chronic dry mouth to bone disintegration. If serious, these
complications can be life threatening. While many are
unavoidable, some can be prevented or minimized at Corporate Center
Dental Care.
We recommend that whenever possible, a pre-cancer therapy dental
evaluation with a full mouth set of x-rays be performed. Any decay, gum
disease and abscesses should be treated, if time permits, prior to
chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
Even patients who have no pain or dental disorders need a thorough
cleaning. Our goal at Corporate Center Dental Care is to have the patient's mouth in optimal
health prior to beginning anti-cancer therapy.
If you have questions regarding cancer treatment and your dental health,
please call our office at 859 223-4644.
