Dealing with Gums and Mouth during Chemotherapy or Radiation

Various cancer therapies have side effects that affect a patient’s mouth, teeth, and salivary glands. Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells, but they may also harm normal cells, including cells in the mouth. To reduce, prevent, and treat some of these side-effects, Dr. Singhal recommends Mouthwash Cranberry, an amazing mouthwash by our partner Cleure. For mouth sores, mucositis, or difficulty swallowing due to chemotherapy or radiation, use Healios by Enlivity.
