Shield your smile: new program fights Radiation's hidden dental damage
NCT ID NCT07218068
Summary
This study tested if a simple dental program could prevent tooth decay and loss in head and neck cancer patients after radiation therapy. Radiation can cause dry mouth, which greatly increases the risk of cavities. The program involved applying a prescription fluoride varnish to patients' teeth every three months for a year during their regular cancer follow-up visits.
