Dental professionals will often recommend options for the treatment of oral cancers. Iron supplements can help reduce an infection’s chance of spreading to other parts of your body, while chemotherapy drugs penetrate deep into a tumor and destroy cancerous cells without harming healthy ones nearby.
Your dentist will work in conjunction with an oncologist and your primary care doctor to assist you in treatment. Together, they will build a comprehensive treatment plan to address your oral cancer and help to ease your discomfort and pain.
