Oral care in oncology patients is very important and fundamental to maintain their quality of life and, above all, to prevent any type of complication, especially when undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, as they can affect oral health.
It is also important to bear in mind that some treatments such as radiotherapy (in the head and neck) can affect cells in the mouth and digestive tract. This is commonly referred to as mucositis.
Mucositis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes and can cause redness, swelling and pain in the skin covering the mouth, tongue and lips. You may experience discomfort in your mouth and/or throat, which could prevent you from eating or swallowing normally.
Symptoms of mucositis usually appear within 3-10 days after cancer treatment begins.
HC Marbella Dental Unit would like to give some indications and/or general recommendations for those patients who have to undergo oncological treatment:
