A Healthy Smile Fights Cancer

A Healthy Smile Fights Cancer

October 15, 2014

In the world-wide battle against cancer, there are more fighters than we could ever imagine. Every household is affected within one or two degrees of association, and we need to take a moment to realize that impact. We can each do a little part to help, whether it is donating money to research, taking a meal to a family who is fighting, or volunteering your time at a clinic. There's so much to do, and here at Newman Springs, we are doing our part by keeping smiles healthy during chemotherapy treatments.

The Relationship Between a Mouth and Chemo

One of the conditions of chemotherapy is that the body needs to be free of infection. Chemotherapy weakens the immune system, which allows a minor infection to turn into a major problem. A minor infection, like gingivitis, can halt chemotherapy treatments. Keeping the smile healthy is an extremely important part of fighting cancer because it enables the doctors to continue treatment.

What to Do

If you or a loved one are preparing for chemotherapy, you should make an appointment for about a month before treatment begins. We will make sure you have a healthy mouth and will schedule routine checks for every couple of months. We will show you how to care for your mouth during treatment (the mouth often becomes dry, sore, and painful) so that you can put your focus on fighting this monster.

We are all deeply touched by cancer. Most have lost someone dear to us from cancer, and we think it's important to stand together in support for our warriors. schedule online for more information about the relationship between oral health and cancer. We'd love to help you better understand and be there to walk through this experience with you.

Read Why Our Patients Love Us 

I've been to this facility quite a few times now and I have to say they are the absolute best in the business! They are thoughtful, they are competent - they are just fantastic and to say that about a dentist that really means something! You always get a friendly face, they make it as painless as possible and I can't think of any other place I would go For any kind of dental work.

Anna H.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. The staff does whatever they can to make you feel safe and comfortable. Dr Menon is a Rockstar. She does beautiful work and also takes the time to explain the answers to my questions and concerns. They work well with my periodontist so I feel I'm getting the best care all around.

Milena M.

This is actually my favorite dentist I've ever been to! All the staff is really welcoming and sweet and conversational. I hadn't gone to the dentist in like 2-3 years and they weren't judgey at all and they helped me get my teeth looking clean again. Definitely recommend!

Sarah M.

I have been a patient here for 16 years. The staff are great. I am an anxious person when it comes to the dentist, but the staff always make me feel comfortable. They are respectful, friendly and professional. There are new faces, such as Jasmine, who assisted Dr. Menon with my procedure yesterday. And, I have to say, the whole team held it together when the power went out during my procedure..Thanks Newman Springs!!!

I was recently seen as a new patient here and I couldn't be any more happier. From the minute I walked in I was greeted with friendly faces and meet Johanna , Michel, and Yeli. Linda was such a amazing assistant throughout my appointment. Dr. Friedman made me feel at ease was easy-going,funny and detailed. Happy to be coming back again.
