Hi everyone. 
after treatment, did anyone have mouth ulcers, gum disease or tooth loss? 

my teeth, lower front (I suspect it was due to the amount of vomiting that occurred) have become wobbly, I fear they will need removing. 

has anyone experienced tooth loss please? 

  • Hi, I was diagnosed with peridontal disease and 50% bone loss, lost all my top molars, had partial denture that i could not get on with so recently had the remainder of top teeth removed and implants fitted.  Now just waiting till my bottom teeth need to be removed :(

  • Thank you for sharing, big hug to you. 
    Hopefully bottom teeth aren’t painful and last a while yet Relaxed️

  • Hi  I know this doesn't help you now Disappointed , but if anyone else reads this and is having radiotherapy treatment (I didn't have chemo. so can't say if it makes any difference), but I very luckily had an appointment with my dentist just after having my lumpectomy and pre radiotherapy.  She actually gave me a prescription for Duraphat toothpaste to start using immediately to protect me during the radiotherapy treatment.  I already used an electric toothbrush and she said that I should use Corsodyl mouthwash rather than the one I was using.

    I have had no issues with my teeth since - 7.5 years post diagnosis.

    Kindest wishes to you, Lesley
