SUMMARY:Dental Health During and After Cancer Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Dental Health During and After Cancer Treatment\, presented by Cynthia Kuang\, DDS\, RN\nRegister here.\nCancer treatment can affect many parts of the body\, and the mouth is no exception. Some individuals undergoing treatment for breast or gynecologic cancer may experience sensitive teeth\, dry mouth\, mouth sores\, tooth decay\, gum inflammation\, changes in taste\, or jaw discomfort. These side effects may occur during chemotherapy or radiation\, and in some cases may continue after treatment ends. \nFor many people\, cancer care continues well beyond the completion of initial treatment. Long-term medications used to reduce the risk of recurrence\, such as hormone therapies or bone-strengthening medications\, may require special precautions when undergoing certain dental procedures. Complex dental work\, including extractions or implants\, may require coordination between your dental team and oncology team to ensure your safety. \nTaking care of your teeth and gums is an important part of overall health and healing. Prevention is one of the most important ways to protect oral health during and after cancer treatment. However\, access to dental care can be a challenge. Many individuals do not have dental insurance\, and even those who do may struggle to find providers experienced in supporting patients through cancer treatment. \nIn this webinar\, Cynthia Kuang\, D.D.S.\, R.N.\, will discuss how cancer treatments such as chemotherapy\, radiation\, and certain medications can affect oral health. Dr. Kuang is a periodontist whose dual training in nursing and dentistry provides a strong background in caring for individuals with complex medical needs. \nYou will learn practical strategies to protect your teeth and gums during treatment\, how to care for your mouth after treatment ends\, when to see a dentist\, and how dental providers and cancer care teams can work together to support your long-term health. \nJoin us to gain practical knowledge and helpful tools for protecting your oral health during and after cancer treatment. \nEach webinar will include an ASL interpreter provided by Interpretek. Join us to learn\, ask questions\, and leave feeling empowered to take charge of your health journey.
