How it affects your day-to-day routine will depend on the size and location of your cancer and how advanced it is. But no matter the type, you can find help and ways to deal with the changes.<\/p><cite>Dr Chirag Chamria<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral cancer starts in the mouth. It can begin in the lips, tongue, gums, floor and roof of the mouth, and other places. You might need surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy &#8212; sometimes in combination. The cancer and treatments can change the way you eat, talk, and look. And it can take an emotional toll.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cbd3cd31-c595-4cb4-9b8e-ebc53ad2ddd9-900x900.jpg\" alt=\"Before after\" class=\"wp-image-5678\" width=\"431\" height=\"431\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eating-after-oral-cancer-surgery\"><strong>Eating<\/strong> after Oral Cancer Surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soreness and swelling from surgery can make it uncomfortable to chew and swallow. Radiation therapy can make foods taste bitter or metallic, or give you dry mouth. Some treatments can make you nauseated. You may have lost teeth. Many of those problems can be treated or will get better over time. Small changes can help you keep your body nourished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If it\u2019s hard for you to swallow, eat small portions every 2-3 hours instead of big meals.<\/li><li>Try a diet of soft foods like soups, casseroles, beans, and eggs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-royal-dental-clinics-blog wp-block-embed-royal-dental-clinics-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"l0RNd25CEq\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/oral-cancer-rehabilitation-awareness\/\">Oral Cancer Rehabilitation Awareness<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Oral Cancer Rehabilitation Awareness&#8221; &#8212; Royal Dental Clinics Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/oral-cancer-rehabilitation-awareness\/embed\/#?secret=2t4y3KTXZR#?secret=l0RNd25CEq\" data-secret=\"l0RNd25CEq\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Carry water with you to keep your mouth moist, or your doctor might prescribe artificial saliva.<\/li><li>Perk up your foods with flavorful ingredients like herbs and spices.<\/li><li>Avoid spicy dishes if your mouth is sore or infected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have trouble keeping your weight up, your doctor may have you use a feeding tube for a while. It puts liquid food right into your stomach so you won\u2019t have to swallow. A nutritionist can tell you more about what to eat and how to make it easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#ba0c49;color:#fffffa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speech-after-oral-cancer-surgery\"><strong>Speech<\/strong> after Oral Cancer Surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way you talk might change. It depends on the size and location of your cancer and how much tissue doctors had to remove. Cancer on your tongue, for example, can make it harder to make \u201cl\u201d and \u201cr\u201d sounds. If you have a growth on the roof of your mouth, your voice may sound different. You could lose your voice. A speech and language therapist can help you speak more clearly. Sometimes, removable devices that look like dental retainers can fill in for lost tissue or teeth to help you speak and eat better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"CAJTeeth for Oral Cancer in Jaw | Know More About Oral Health Ep 11 | Dr Chirag Chamria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hoDS85m_AWk?start=261&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>CAJTeeth Oral Cancer Rehabilitation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-appearance-after-oral-rehabilitation\"><strong>Appearance<\/strong> after Oral rehabilitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surgery on your lips, jaw, and elsewhere on your mouth can change the way you look. You may have reconstructive or plastic surgery to rebuild bones or tissues. In most cases, you won\u2019t see big scars, and they usually fade over time. Camouflage makeup can cover skin grafts and scars. Some people may need a surgical hole in the front of the neck, called a stoma, to breathe. Usually, you need one only for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#ba0c49;color:#fffffa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emotional-health\"><strong>Emotional Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Lean on your family, friends, and others so you won\u2019t feel alone.
