Dear JP, What is the name of the chemo your wife is on. My husband has been on several different types and he also had radiation and although he did not specifically have teeth problems, he did have some mouth sores which the dr. prescribed a special mouth wash. Our dr.'s office has a 24/7 triage nurse that we can call with questions.

Good luck and my prayers are with you both as we are daily challenged by this terrible disease. Rita
