Cancer is a potential life threatening disease with both physical & psychological component. When the Cancer involves the Head & Neck region, the aim is not just to get the malignant tumor surgically removed but also to restore the Oral Functioning of the Mouth so that the patient is able to lead a quality life after recovery & return back to the society without hesitation.
It is not uncommon to see multiple DENTAL & ORAL COMPLICATIONS in the mouth in patients receiving Radiotherapy & chemotherapy like severe Ulcerations, burning mouth, Oral Dryness & reduced mouth opening.
In the Oral cancer care we work in coordination with the Oncosurgeon & Radiationtherapist & Chemotherapist to reduce the complications & rehabilitate the oral functioning in cancer patients.
