is very hard on the teeth. Did you have chemo? I don't recall, sorry.
Drugs not only can cause dry mouth, they can change the pH of the saliva,
as well.
Your gums too can suffer, and some nutritional support can help this too.
They recede and expose the unprotected parts of the teeth, and that is where they decay so rapidly. So keeping nutrients up to prevent this gum issue, helps alot.
Some dentists recommend strong fluoride toothpastes, when gums recede.
There are also RX rinses. (Prevident and GelKam).
Vit C, CoQ-10, zinc, vit A, selenium are major players for gum health.
