The dental professional can assist medical professionals in making a proper diagnosis and assuring patient follow up. The oral care concerns of an oncology patient are similar, yet at the same time unique, than those of your average xerostomia and oral ulcerations in patients. Dentistry is in a unique position to make a difference for those currently fighting or having survived a cancer diagnosis using evidence-based recommendations.
