Just Wondering If Anyone Has Experienced Dental Issues(such As Teeth Breaking & Need To Be Pulled,or Capped) After Full Breast Radiation?
I didn’t but since I was concerned about the effect of hormone blockers on my teeth, I asked my hygienist about it at my last appointment. She gave me some paste to put on my teeth after I brushed my teeth at night. I’m supposed to leave it on all night. It will help remineralize my teeth. She said if I start having bone loss, they can make trays to put this paste in and then keep the trays in all night.
I had full breast radiation, left side, 16 sessions, towards the end of 2023. So far I haven’t experienced any dental problems. My dentist is aware I’ve been treated for BC and am currently on tamoxifen. My most recent exam showed all was well.

I hope this is not fluoride.
Do you know what it is???
I would not leave fluoride on my teeth all night.
Better to make sure that you are eating calcium- rich food in your diet and taking vitamin D and K2-MK4 and magnesium tablets and flossing and brushing.
This is just me.
I would research this. But excess fluoride is toxic….
