Can patients with thyroid cancer take X-rays after having their teeth filled?

When patients with thyroid cancer have their teeth filled, they can usually take an X-ray. Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor, which mainly manifests as a lump in the neck, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing. After diagnosis, it needs to be treated with surgery.

The cause of thyroid cancer is still unclear. It may be related to genetic factors, or it may be caused by insufficient or excessive iodine intake. If the patient has been smoking and drinking for a long time, it may increase the risk of thyroid cancer. After the disease occurs, single or multiple nodules may appear on the neck, with a hard texture, unclear boundaries, and an uneven surface. As the disease progresses, the local skin will become uneven, and it will also be accompanied by pain and difficulty swallowing. If the above symptoms occur, you can fill the tooth under the guidance of a doctor.

Generally, X-ray examinations are not allowed during the filling period to avoid affecting the examination results. If the patient has undergone surgery, X-ray examinations can be taken as directed by the doctor after a period of recovery. Thyroid cancer patients can be treated by surgical removal of the lesion, and also need to cooperate with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other auxiliary treatments to help control the progression of the disease.

Patients are advised to maintain good living habits in their daily lives, avoid overwork and staying up late, and other bad behaviors. The diet should be light, easy to digest, and nutritionally balanced, and avoid spicy, cold, greasy, and other irritating foods. If obvious discomfort symptoms occur during the period, seek medical treatment in time.
