STEPHEN J. MERAW, D.D.S. and CHARLES M. REEVE, D.D.S., M.S.
As many as 400,000 out of 1 million patients newly diagnosed with cancer may develop oral complications. The trend toward people’s maintaining their teeth longer coupled with the rising age of the population suggest that dentists frequently may be treating patients with cancer, and should be informed about aspects of their oncologic care that will affect their oral health.
