Oncological Dentistry & Rehabilitation
Radiation therapy to the head and neck can severely impact oral health, leading to dry mouth, dental decay, and jaw issues. Our dental team steps in before radiation begins to ensure the mouth is healthy, and stays involved post-treatment to reconstruct and rehabilitate, allowing patients to chew, swallow, and speak normally.
