Your dentist can help to establish a prevention to lessen the inconvenience:

- It is important that patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment are reviewed prior endo-mouth.
- It is desirable to hand in the mouth and remove any dental cause and  irritative periodontal, any outbreak of infection to avoid infectious complications.
- A check on gingival health, with prevention of gingivitis can limit side effects.
- It is important that patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment is a perfect dental and oral hygiene.

Until now, chemotherapy, cancer treatment with chemicals, is the only way to destroy tumor cells. This treatment inevitably causes side effects.
The toxicity of chemotherapy is related to its non-selective. It attacks cells in the process of multiplication, it affects not only cancer cells but also non-cancerous cells.

There is an oral toxicity associated with chemotherapy treatment. Clinical aspects are varied, with a frequency and intensity more or less, depending on the protocols used, duration of treatment, the possible association with radiotherapy, and the rule of the oral cavity before treatment.
It is linked to the action of drugs on the mouth, to inhibition of cell growth and lower immune defenses.

These disorders are transient and reversible in most cases.
 

A few days after starting treatment, we can see:

- An inflammation of the lining (mucositis):
- It can cause tingling and burning
- The mucositis can be infectious viral, bacterial or fungal.
- A dry mouth:
 

It is most often transient, linked to a malfunctioning salivary glands. Salivary secretions are reduced or nonexistent. Given that there already when treating a slowdown cellular dry mouth mucous membranes makes more fragile, and you can have ulcers, gingival lesions of oral candidiasis and Angulus at labial commissures.
The absence of saliva, is responsible for the proliferation of oral bacteria become pathogens. There is a breach of the oral ecosystem, anaerobic bacteria are redundant.
A bad breath can be installed.
