in Ovarian Cancer #1

 I had my firstline chemo from May 14 to Apr 15

 

 last fall I began dental repairs for quite a few cavities asa well as 2 teeth having to be rebuilt totally filled with the white stuff pois - posts root canals & crowns

 

 

did anyone else have a dental wreck after ov ca tx?

 

I blame part oif it on not being able to go to dentist that yr as much as anything

 

Just curious..Susan P from Alberta Canada & TX & WY

    Susan P, the chemo probably

    Susan P, the chemo probably didn't help.  I remember my dentist saying that during treatment the mouth can dry out that can lead to problems.  They recommended Biotene and gave me a little sample.  Everytime I go to see her now (it probably helps that I have a female tech and dentist!) they make a point to ask about oral issues because of my treatment.

    Good luck!

    no problems

    Susan, chemo didn't cause any dental problems for me, but I have excellent teeth and have had few dental problems over the years.  I'm not saying this in a boastful or critical way; my parents passed down their good teeth genes.  My poor husband can't say the same.  Fortunately, our sons inherited my good teeth.
