Dental Oncology: Dental oncology is a focus of dentistry dedicated to meeting the unique dental and oral health care needs that arise as a result of cancer therapy. It is devoted to improving the well-being and quality of life of people battling cancer. Dental oncology goes beyond the scope of general dental treatment to include management of the soft tissues of the mouth and care for oral side effects specific to cancer therapy. Dental Oncology Professionals works as part of your oncology team to provide pre-treatment oral assessments and supportive oral care before, during, and after cancer therapy.
