This study investigated the dental health of children
(aged 1-14 years) diagnosed with cancer 4-36 months earlier. Sixty
patients were examined and interviewed; 43% had untreated decay and
only 35% had seen a dentist since their malignancy had been diagnosed. A significant source of bacterial infection is not being treated in
this at risk population. The level of dental disease and lack of dental
prevention indicates a need to integrate medical and dental care.
