Mouth and dental care after cancer treatment
Information on how to take care of your child’s teeth and mouth during chemotherapy or a bone marrow transplant. Chemotherapy and radiation are used to destroy cancer cells so that they can no longer divide and grow. Unfortunately, chemotherapy and radiation cannot tell the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells. As a result, some of the healthy cells in the body are also damaged. This can cause a sore mouth.
