Special Considerations for Hospital Patients
Here are some considerations for our hospital dental patients:
Patients Undergoing Cancer Treatment: Before starting cancer therapy, we typically recommend a comprehensive evaluation to treat any existing oral health conditions that can worsen during treatment, such as gum disease or oral infections. One side effect of cancer treatment is called mucositis, which can cause painful ulcers and inflammation in the mouth. Another is dry mouth, a condition known as xerostomia, which increases the risk of tooth decay and infection. Our experienced prosthodontist and team will work with you to address any arising needs to keep your smile as healthy as possible before, during, and after treatment.
Patients with Organ Transplants: When it comes to patients with organ transplants, patients are often on long-term immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, which can increase the risk of oral infections. Whether you’re in the process of preparing for a transplant or have received this life-saving treatment, we’re here to support your oral health every step of the way. We meticulously plan every dental procedure and emphasize the need for prevention to lower your risk of infections or complications.
Patients with Other Medical Concerns: Other medical concerns may also come with a range of considerations. These may include patients undergoing dialysis, those with cardiovascular diseases, and individuals with autoimmune diseases. Our experienced prosthodontist and team will work alongside your treating physicians before, during, and after every treatment to safeguard your oral and overall health.
