How should oral health be managed during cancer treatment?
During cancer treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene is paramount. Patients should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and rinse their mouth several times a day with a non-alcoholic mouthwash. If mucositis develops, a dentist may recommend special rinses or coatings to reduce pain and promote healing. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor and manage any arising issues.
