Does Chemotherapy Weaken Teeth?

Hi,

Ever since I had chemotherapy, my teeth have been cracking and breaking.  Is this common?

Pam, chemotherapy by itself does not weaken teeth. The side effects such as having a dry mouth can be a contributing factor in causing tooth decay.Saliva substitutes and flouride rinses are appropriate and helpful aids for you.
