Teeth problems after chemo

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their teeth after chemo.

I am experiencing cracks, chips and tooth falling away from my excisting fillings.

I also find the emamel now is no where near as strong and I am having to use a very soft tooth brush all the time.

Please help - I am getting rather concerned.

    Thanks for all your comments, looks like im not the only one with teeth issues. I think a trip to the dentist is in order not that I will enjoy that.  But it is very nice to know I am not alone in this. These are all the things they don't tell you about. But hey im still here almost 1st anniversary

    My teeth very sensitive I use a sensitive toothpaste seems to help but sometimes ouch they hurt. Not a lover of the dentist but need to go and get an opinion. I finished chemo in July last year. Seems we are lef with a few niggling issues. Regards Deb

    Yes Lone I can relate to that.  My teeth feel like they are all just falling apart.
