Dental Oncology services:

Treatment of Mucositis:

Mucositis is a common and often painful side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer patients. It causes inflammation and ulceration in the lining of the mouth and throat. Our dental oncology team provides specialized treatment for mucositis to alleviate symptoms and promote healing. We offer a range of therapies, including medications, oral rinses, and other interventions that can help manage the discomfort associated with this condition.

Treatment of taste disturbances:

Cancer treatment can affect the taste buds, leading to changes in taste perception or a complete loss of taste. Our dental oncology team provides treatments to address taste disturbances and help patients regain their enjoyment of food. We offer various interventions, including dietary modifications, medication, and other strategies to enhance taste and improve quality of life.

Treatment of Radiation induced trismus:

Radiation therapy can cause stiffness in the jaw muscles, making it difficult to open the mouth. This condition is known as radiation-induced trismus. Our dental oncology team offers specialized treatments to improve jaw mobility and reduce discomfort, allowing patients to eat and speak more comfortably. We provide a range of therapies, including exercises, medications, and other interventions to manage this condition.

Treatment of Xerostomia (mouth dryness):

Xerostomia or dry mouth is a common side effect of cancer treatment. It can lead to difficulties in speaking, swallowing, and increase the risk of oral infections. Our dental oncology team provides a range of solutions to address this issue, including medications, oral rinses, and specialized dental care. Our team works closely with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that suits their specific requirements.

Post operative dental Prosthesis:

After surgery, cancer patients may require dental prostheses to restore the function of their mouth. Our dental oncology team provides customized post-operative dental prosthesis services to help patients regain their oral function and improve their quality of life. We work closely with patients to ensure a comfortable fit and address their specific needs.

Speech and swallowing rehabilitation:

Cancer treatment can affect speech and swallowing abilities, making it difficult for patients to communicate and eat. Our dental oncology team offers speech and swallowing rehabilitation therapies to help patients improve their communication skills and regain their ability to swallow safely. We provide a range of interventions, including exercises, speech therapy, and other specialized techniques.

Dental Rehabilitation with dentures/ dental Implants:

Cancer treatment can cause tooth loss or damage, which can impact oral function and quality of life. Our dental oncology services team provides dental rehabilitation  using dentures or dental implants, depending on the patient’s individual needs. We work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific oral health needs and concerns.

Nutritional Counseling:

A healthy and balanced diet is essential for cancer patients during and after treatment. Our dental oncology team provides nutritional counseling to cancer patients to help them maintain a healthy diet during their treatment. We work with patients to develop personalized nutrition plans that meet their specific dietary needs and preferences, improving their overall well-being and quality of life.
