Dental work with a port
Hello all,
I thought I read somewhere that if I need dental work done while I had a port that I needed to be on antibiotics. I can't find where I read that.
I even thought I saw a list of dentists that specialized in oncology patients. I need to start looking for a great periodontist.
Do I need to do anything special for a cleaning, have port, but finished with chemo except Herceptin.
Thanks,
'lizbeth
