Chemo definitely can weaken the teeth and gums.
I noticed it most on Navelbine and Herceptin, my teeth actually
loosened for a while, also had mouth ulcers and sore
gums with all chemos, Adramycin/Taxotere, Herceptin and Navelbine.
One tooth broke off eating a tuna fish sandwich. I had five cavities
in one visit. I usually have one or two, if any.
I was given a fluoride scrip by my dentist, to slow down the damage,
not sure I want to fill it.
