| Chemotherapy and your oral health In this day and age everyone knows someone who has had or is currently undergoing chemotherapy following a diagnosis of cancer, it may even be yourself. Do you know that chemo can have side effects to the mouth, some serious enough to delay or even stop cancer treatment? To reduce the chances of these problems cancer patients should always see there dentist at least two weeks prior to starting chemo therapy. Your dentist will examine your mouth and also prescribe the use of a chlorhexidine mouth rinse twice daily as well as a prescription strength fluoride gel. These products will help to reduce bacteria in the mouth hopefully avoiding the development of infections and mouth soars. Diligent brushing with an extra soft toothbrush after each meal is a must as well as flossing twice daily. Reducing plaque is so important while undergoing chemo, it can mean the difference between comfortable chewing and swallowing, or even discomfort or pain. If you know someone with a recent diagnosis of cancer and upcoming chemo please share these precautionary tips with them, they’ll be glad you did! |
| Each one of us can make a huge difference! Each of us has the opportunity to make new choices in our daily lives to create new habits that are consistent with creating environmental sustainability. Some ideas include: Only purchase items whose packaging, ingredients and production are sustainable. Take reusable canvas bags when you shop. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Plant an organic garden. Find a houseplant you like and learn how to nurture it carefully and with awareness. Volunteer with local organizations that clean up the environment. Use a reusable water bottle or bring your own coffee cup when you purchase coffee. Identify a local pro-environment ordinance regulation that is being considered and support it. Buy food from our local farms. Look around your home and update any areas of costly lost energy. Plan a hike with friends or family. Spend some moments of awareness in nature each day. Watch or read something that inspires you everyday. Smile at yourself in the mirror. Write down 3 things you are grateful for. |
