In today's episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, we dive deep into oral health!
Before undergoing cancer treatment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize their dental health. This is because cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, can have significant effects on oral health, specifically how bisphosphonates may lead to Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ). In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of visiting a dentist and dental hygienist before starting cancer treatment to achieve optimal oral hygiene.
Topics Covered in this Episode:
- Bisphosphonates and dental health.
- Dental health considerations before cancer treatment.
- Oral health during cancer treatment.
- Understanding dental and medical coverage.
- Bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw.
- Dental complications with bisphosphonates.
- Osteonecrosis symptoms and diagnosis.
- Nerve treatment during surgery.
