Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this. I'm awaiting results of a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal. I'm normally a worrier/anxious person but since the cancer diagnosis it's rocketed. I have started with a niggle in a tooth, my dentist is nearly 2 hours away and it's always an appointment to look at the tooth and another for treatment. I can't register with a nhs dentist locally. My husband is due surgery on his shoulder in a few months and will be in a sling for 6 weeks. I don't drive and am worried sick about future visits. Can the breast clinic do a referral to a local dentist, guess I'm just clutching at straws but my teeth are weak and are constantly being worked on. So sorry for the long post.
Hi Daveday sorry to hear about your dental problems.
I would call your Breast Cancer Clinic…… specifically if you have a nominated CNS (Cancer Nurse Specialist) and talk through the problems.
I have a completely different cancer but I needed some urgent dental treatment before I went on to have some full on treatment so my clinic (Heamatology) arranged for me to be seen at the dental unit at the hospital I was bending treated at.
