After more than ten years of nasopharyngeal cancer, teeth loss is mostly considered to be caused by the adverse reaction of radiotherapy, and generally no special treatment is needed. Keep the oral cavity clean and clean in daily life, and take reasonable diet. For patients who need dental implants, dental implants can be used as prescribed by doctors.
Due to the irritation of radiotherapy, which will cause different degrees of damage to the oral cavity and salivary glands, some nasopharyngeal cancer patients may have loose teeth or lose teeth during the treatment. It is mainly due to the adverse reaction caused by radiotherapy, and most patients do not need to take special treatment.
During the treatment period, patients should gargle diligently and pay attention to oral hygiene. Increase the intake of protein and vitamins, and eat less spicy and stimulating food. Some patients can take dental implant treatment, but they need to take into account their own situation and ask the doctor for guidance.
If nasopharyngeal cancer patients have lost their teeth, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals and cooperate with doctors to take treatment measures.
