Kcherub,
After my mastectomy, I was going through some issues, and I know that I was clenching. I experienced a sharp pain in one of my teeth and I know it was from the clenching. I wore my mouth splint and later when the stress subsided as well as the clenching, the pain from the tooth cleared up.
I may be mistaken, but I think many of the problems from the teeth are not primarily due to the direct effects from the chemo, but from secondary problems such as clenching/stress.
Chemo can have a direct impact on the soft tissue like the tongue and cheeks. That is where Biotene is helpful.
