My teeth crumbled at the top except about 4 what are my options

Q. All of my teeth crumbled at the top except about 4 during chemotherapy. Now my immune system is compromised. I know that I may need a lot of work, but I am afraid. I am a breast cancer survivor of inflammatory breast cancer. My prognosis is 60 percent chance of reoccurance. What would be your recommendation. I had 1 year of chemotherapy, radiation and a year of herceptin treatment. I have hpb, atrial fibs and rhuemotoid arthritis. Thank you

A. Minimally invasive dentistry utilizing bonding techniques to reduce the amount of tooth removal is advisable.  It is essential that none of the dentistry provided increase the chances of gum disease and you would be well advised to use a daily fluoride mouthwash and regularly see your hygienist.
