Patient discussions
Patients should be advised to maintain oral care on a daily basis, including brushing with a soft toothbrush and flossing, taking care to avoid traumatizing the oral tissues. They should be instructed on use of prescribed pain medications for symptom control, and on how to maintain adequate nutrition, avoiding sharp or hard foods.[27][33] The use of removable dentures may need to be limited during periods of severe mucositis to avoid trauma to the oral ulcerations.
