Hi @altc321. I’m so sorry your wife is having to deal with these dental issues along with her cancer treatments. Having teeth extracted or any oral surgery while going through chemotherapy may be complicated. Chemo can lower the white blood cell count, platelet count, and red blood cell counts which can impact bleeding during surgery, the potential for infections and also the healing process.
I’m not seeing an Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery Dept in Jacksonville other wise that might be an option for collaborate treatment. I think the best person to ask for clarification on how to proceed will be your wife’s oncologist.
They may ok minimal work such as an emergency extraction. But at this time they may not suggest implants if that’s the consideration for replacment teeth.

If the oncologist oks the surgery, you’ll need to find an Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeon to do the extractions. They are specialists in oral surgery and would take all necessary precautions to avoid infection risks. After healing of the extraction sites, her dentist or prosthodontics (dentist who specializes in tooth replacement) could consider a partial denture as a replacement for the teeth if implants aren’t recommended at this time.

Tell me a little more about the teeth that need removal. Are they abscessed, broken, already loose? Have you spoken with the oncologist about the dental work?
