Cancer Treatment-Related Complications In The Mouth
 

Each year about 400,000 cancer patients (including many in the Chattanooga, Rossville and Ringgold areas) develop treatment-related complications in the mouth ranging from lesions to chronic dry mouth to bone disintegration.  While many are unavoidable, some can be prevented or minimized by Dr. Major.

Whenever possible, a pre-therapy dental evaluation with a full set of dental x-rays should be performed. 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 Spring Creek Dental Care is to have the patient's mouth in optimal health prior to beginning cancer therapy.

If you have questions regarding cancer treatment and your dental health, please call our office at (423) 499-9300.
