Hi RT Chair...
With teeth they are concerned about the slow healing properties during chemo and especially if you are placed onto Denosumab or a Bisphosphonate as they slow the healing capabilities of the bones (to slow down the bone mets) and it can cause a few issues.. such as a socket that will not heal or takes much longer than normal after extraction
I have indeed had a tooth extracted since being diagnosed (zero choice) but could only find a Periodontist to do it.. excellent job.. but ouch!! with the cost.. (but he did seal up the socket to protect it) Things such as filings, root canals and crowns can still be undertaken as the jaw bone is not being altered during these procedures. But even my endodontist prefers to work on me when i am on a "chemo holiday" !!
if you are off to the dentist, tell him your situation and also any drugs you are currently on and about to be on.. (not all dentists have the knowledge of oncology drugs and may send you up the line) but for normal dental stuff you should be just fine..
hope that helps
