Mouth complications related to cancer treatment
 

Each year about 400,000 people (including many in the Tampa, Carrollwood Village and Lake Magdalene areas) with cancer develop treatment-related complications in the mouth ranging from lesions to chronic dry mouth to bone disintegration.  If serious, these complications can be life threatening.  While many are unavoidable, some can be prevented or minimized at North Pointe Dental Associates.

Whenever possible, a pre-therapy dental evaluation with a full set of mouth 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 North Pointe Dental Associates is to have the patient's mouth in optimal health prior to beginning anti-cancer therapy.

If you have questions regarding cancer treatment and your dental health, please call our office at (813) 961-1727.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during
 dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining
 normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
