Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
As I have bone cancer, I feel facial pain and jaw pain, even my teeth became sensitive, and I feel they are getting loose in the socket. What should I do to preserve my teeth? Currently, I am not taking any medications related to bone cancer since I have been recently diagnosed with bone cancer. What should be done to reverse bone loss in the teeth without surgery? Do biphosphonates helps in reducing bone loss in teeth?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern. In cancers, teeth can get mobile due to bone resorption.However, this can be due to plaque or calculus and gingval diseases as well in which cancer patients are more susceptible. You need to be examined physically to start treatment. I suggest you visit the dental hospital for evaluation and accordingly you will be treated. Bisphosphonates will prevent further bone loss but to use them depends on the physcians opinion.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
