Mouth complications related to cancer treatment

Each year about 400,000 people (including many in the Rockville, Silver Spring and Bethesda areas) with cancer develop treatment-related complications in the mouth ranging from lesions to chronic dry mouth to bone degeneration.  If serious, these complications can be life threatening.  While many are unavoidable, some can be prevented or minimized with appropriate treatment.

Dr. Ziomek recommends that whenever possible, a dental evaluation with a full set of mouth x-rays be performed and any decay, gum disease and abscesses should be treated, if time permits, prior to chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Even patients who have no pain or dental disorders need a thorough cleaning.  Our goal at "All Smiles" Dentistry is to have the patient's mouth in optimal health prior to beginning anti-cancer therapy.

If you have questions regarding cancer treatment and your dental health, please call our office at 301 984-9646.
