    New Lease on Life: Restorative Dentistry for Oral Cancer Survivors

    After undergoing treatment for oral cancer, including surgical removal, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy, patients may experience various changes in their daily lives. These changes may be physical, emotional, or social in nature. Here are some of the ways in which oral cancer patients may have to adjust their lifestyle:

    • Dental and Oral Care: Following oral cancer treatment, patients may experience changes in their teeth, gums, and overall oral health. They may require dental restorations, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures, to replace missing teeth or improve their bite. Patients should also maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing regularly, to prevent further dental issues.
    • Diet and Nutrition: Oral cancer treatment can affect a patient’s ability to eat and swallow comfortably. Patients may require a soft or liquid diet for a period of time, which may impact their nutritional intake. It is important for patients to work with a registered dietitian to develop a healthy eating plan that meets their nutritional needs.
    • Speech and Communication: Depending on the location and extent of the cancer treatment, patients may experience changes in their speech or ability to communicate. Speech therapy and assistive devices, such as voice amplifiers or communication boards, may be helpful in improving communication skills.
    • Emotional and Social Support: Oral cancer treatment can be emotionally and socially challenging for patients. They may experience anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to changes in their appearance or daily routine. Support groups, counselling, and other resources may be available to help patients cope with these issues.
    • Follow-Up Care: After treatment, patients at Royal Dental are called for regular follow-up appointments to monitor for any signs of recurrence or complications. They should also continue to practice healthy lifestyle habits, such as not smoking, to reduce their risk of developing oral cancer again in the future.
