What Causes Deterioration Of Teeth On Previous Skin Cancer Site?
Hi approximately 10 years ago i had a skin cancer on my cheek which was treated by a cream, in the last 12 months i have had major problems with my teeth deteriorating, my problem is that i am swallowing on the side that the cancer was on, i had put it down to my teeth as they were infected, and am using antibiotics at present but this swallowing is continual and seems to be coming from top of my cheek inside my mouth ?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to visit to a oral surgeon get a thorough checkup done take an IOPA X-ray of the tooth, if necessary tooth can be extracted, get the site examined, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take multivitamin suplements , maintain a good oral hygiene...
Take care!
