Hi Rosie,
Most of us on this site are cancer pilgrims ourselves, or nurse friends or family who have cancer. We are not medics.
Can I suggest that you could ask your care nurses or consultant at the hospital? They are in the best position to answer your question. Failing this, you could ask your dentist or the nurses on this site. They can be contacted under the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this site or by phone on 0808 800 4040. This number is free to call from a UK landline and you will find the nurses very helpful.
Could you please let us know what advice you get, as I'm sure that there are others on this site, who would like to know the answer too.
Kind regards,
Jolamine xx
Had my first radiothephy session yesterday . Asked the nurses about dental treatment and was told its okay .
Best wishes Rosie . xx
Hi Rosie,
Thanks for this information. I am sure that others undergoing radiotherapy will be glad to know this too. I hope that your treatment is going well.
Kind regards,
