My dad had MDS and has had chemo.  He has a bad sore in the roof of his mouth.  His cancer doctor took a look and refered him to an ENT doctor.  He wont do anything to dad until he has scan.  Dad is using magic mouthwash.  He does have some pain and he says his teeth hurt.  He has been having really bad headaches and some mornings he has blood in his mouth and before he started chemo he had a ct scan which was negative.  The sore has improved a lot since last week when I looked at it.  Is this common or should we be concerned?  I have him an appointment with a oral surgeon next week.  Thanks, Chris
Hi. Read your query and can understand your concern about your dad. Normally, the bleeding in the mouth is due to gingival inflammation if the oral hygiene is not maintained well. In the query, you have mentioned CT scan is negative, relax and visit the dentist. A normal cleaning of the teeth will help your dad have relief of the pain and sensitivity. Hope this helps.
