Dentist visits whilst on chemotherapy

My dentist wouldn’t do anything due to lockdown/ chemo / bone density. So after 2 years waiting for filling that came out during chemo to be replaced I ended up at hospital having 4 teeth removed. Hope your dentist is not as money orientated as mine and helps you.

Yes, I have seen my dentist regulalry over last 4.5 years including periods of IV chemo. I explained what drugs I was on and in particular denosimab as it can affect jaw. last hygienist visit, I asked her to go gentle as my blood platelets might be low, and so I didnt want to worry about gum bleeds. I tend to time visits to weeks when I am not actually having chemo that week, just becuase I tend to feel better that week. Good luck, although i just realised you posted this 2 days ago, so it has happened. Hope it went well

Sorry to hear this. My dentist was ok, but he just did a check. Luckily no treatment needed

Checks should be fine as long as the dentist and your oncologist are ok with that. Treatment is different.
