I am half way through my chemo and immunotherapy for stomach cancer and I have developed toothache I don't think its chemo related as I remember biting on something hard I was not expecting . Can I go to the dentist as normal , and can I be treated as normal obviously I will tell them my situation..I also need to see if I can get any benifit for this , but I think unlikely as I don't get any means tested benifits even though I am retired ..
You call your dentist or the emergency dental line for your area and talk this through….. the dentist may want to talk with your clinical team….. but I had to have dental treatment during my chemo for my lymphoma.
I don’t think that dental treatment comes under any benefit but I was actually an inpatient when my dental issue kicked off so my medical team arranged for me to have treatment at the hospital dental department and when this was being done my chemo trolley was standing behind me with me connected to it.
