Listen to Dr. McConnell...
We know all-too-well that the physical and psychologica pain of cancer and the sometime brutal effects of treating the disease. even with a litany of cutting-edge advancements in medical science. Chemotherapy and radiation can havoc on patients' hair, eyebrows, and gastro-intestinal tract.
But it also affects the teeth and gums. We don't talk about that part of cancer treatment very often, but a well-regarded Bay Area dentist IS talking about it.
Dr. Steven McConnell, at his Marin County dental practice, consistently works with chemotherapy patients. Dr. McConnell has been in practice for 30 years, was recently named one of "America's Top Dentists" by the Consumers Research Council of America, and he joins us LIVE on the KCBS newsline:
What happens to the teeth and gums during chemotherapy and radiation?
What are you doing to specifically assist cancer sufferers?
This seems to be a little-spoken-of area of cancer care, or dental focus. Why do you think that is?
We don't talk about it often enough... but oral hygiene has a DIRECT effect on all types of health -- digestive, even cardiovascular. Can you speak about how the simple twice-daily act of brushing and flossing... can effect overall health?
