Biological Dentistry and Blood Cancer
We all know seeing a dentist is an essential part of our yearly checkups, and can be especially important for those living with blood cancer. But have you ever heard of biological dentistry? I have had the pleasure of being treated by biological dentists, Drs. Jeff and Maureen Viglielmo, and was highly impressed with the expert care I received.
Why is dental health important for people with cancer?
Here, they will share a bit about what biological dentistry is and what they do. They will also share why keeping up with dental care, especially during cancer treatment, is extremely important. Below, I will share their information and the site they shared if you are in another area but are interested in seeing another biological dentist.
