Since having Chemo. in 2020, I have lost many teeth since then.
Hi Marianne26
I had chemo in 2022. I haven't lost any teeth but have had a lot of increased sensitivity.
I have recently had my teeth deep cleaned at the dentist and was told that it was not unusual but can depend on the chemo regime. (Mine was paclitaxel/carboplatin)

Hi Marianne26 , what a good topic to raise and share experiences from.
Like jane2511 my issue is sensitivity. Initially I thought it was solely related to my neuropathy from chemo, but I realised that the mouthwash I had been prescribed for mouth ulcers caused by chemo was actually the worst contributor.
After asking lots of questions and doing some of my own detective work, I'm now prescribed a targetted spray mouthwash to reduce contact with teeth and I apply an over the counter sensitive toothpaste directly to any nerve twinging too without washing it. The two changes together have made my teeth much happier.
