All I can say here is that both my periodontist a few years back and dentist wanted me to have them....also my oncologist. Avoided major dental work when first on the really rough chemos, but the last time I went, was told to take 4 pills prior to treatment and that was that. I feel all the med pros are just trying to be proactive and not induce infections from dental work---whether that be due to mouth sore concerns or infections in blood stream. Resitance can be low while on chemo. If you have an MD in the family, all the better! Ceesun
