Sam told you that her doctor asked her to go
to a dentist, because he can be really
important to her, but he did not understand why.
You answer that at this already challenging time

oral side effects like xerostomia
and mucositis can significantly impact their

health and prognosis. For that reason, as a
dental professional it is important to
do the following for patients...

Complete necessary treatment prior to cancer therapy
Prevent and reduce the oral side effects of cancer treatment
Reinforce the need for meticulous oral hygiene and supportive dietary habits
Empower your patient with the knowledge and tools to achieve the best possible oral health outcomes
All above
