Have you just finished cancer treatments? If so, your smile and oral health might be suffering the side effects associated with treatment. Now is the time to talk to our dentist, Dr. David Kim, about post-treatment oral care. Our dentist is happy to recommend the following:
-Visit our office: This is very important because your treatments could have created dental issues like cavities and gum disease. So, when you come to our office, we will treat those problems, clean and strengthen your teeth and help you return to a top-notch oral health.
-Keep up on oral hygiene: You need to brush twice a day, floss once a day and rinse daily. These things can keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
-Avoid tobacco products: Tobacco contains a number of harmful chemicals.
-Eat nutritious foods: There are many foods that can help strengthen the teeth as well as boost the immune system, like fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and protein. So, make sure to eat healthy foods regularly.
