ABSTRACT

The interprofessional collaborative care of children and adolescents with cancer must include oral health care. During cancer treatment, advice on preventive oral health practices is crucial. All dental work would be finished before immunosuppressive treatments started. If necessary, palliative care should be given along with treatments for mucositis, opportunistic oral infections, discomfort, and other oral side effects of cancer therapy. To screen and treat dental and oral illnesses, pediatric dentists and pediatric oncology teams should collaborate. It is crucial for the dentistry profession to offer this vulnerable demographic the individualized care required as children’s cancer survival rates rise. The field of oral health also promotes healthy habits consistent with cancer screening and prevention. This literature will highlight some oral manifestation in pediatric oncology. Keywords. Pediatric oncology, chemotherapy, leukemia
