Dr Hawkins’ office never fails to impress me! Whether I am just getting a cleaning or have a dental concern, they take care of me quickly and painlessly. Everyone is so nice, friendly and professional. I used to have a fear of going to the dentist but I no longer do, thanks to Dr. Hawkins and his staff. I highly recommend them.
Cancer treatments can be hard on your body – and that includes your teeth and mouth. It can make you more vulnerable to dry mouth, gum disease, and other dental problems.
Because cancer treatment affects your oral health, it’s important to consult with us throughout your treatment. We may recommend more frequent dental exams and cleanings , fluoride applications, or other strategies to help you deal with unwelcome side effects of your cancer treatment.
