Preventing dental caries in cancer patients requires a multi-faceted approach:
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing with fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day and flossing daily are crucial. Regular Dental Visits: Frequent dental check-ups allow for early detection and management of dental issues. Fluoride Treatments: Professional fluoride treatments can help strengthen tooth enamel. Dietary Modifications: Limiting sugary foods and beverages can reduce the risk of caries. Saliva Substitutes: Using saliva substitutes or stimulants can help alleviate dry mouth.
