Hi, Ive just noticed a filling has fallen out of my back tooth. Should I see my normal dentist or do I need to see a dentist who deals with people undergoing chemo treatment? Thanks.

    Hi Lane! As far as I know all dentists are trained to deal with cancer patients. Before I started chemo I made an appt with my usual dentist and he gave a thorough check out. He said if something happened during my treatment he would deal with it. X

    You should be fine going to your normal dentist but I have heard that some don't like to deal with chemo patients so probably best asking when you make the appointment.
