Everyone should take care of their teeth, but if you have had treatment for cancer it is even more important. This is because certain cancer treatments and other conditions can affect the long-term health of your teeth, gums, and mouth. You may have noticed that the colour or condition of your teeth and gums has changed since treatment, daily oral hygiene and dental care is essential for a healthy mouth.

You should visit a dentist at least every six months for a check up
