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 S4maa I know this doesn't help you now , 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
