What are the long-term oral health considerations for cancer survivors?
Cancer survivors may face long-term oral health issues as a result of their treatment. Regular dental check-ups continue to be important. Survivors should inform their dentist about their cancer history, including the treatments they received. Preventive dental care, including fluoride treatments and possibly the use of saliva substitutes, can help manage the long-term effects of dry mouth and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
