You mean Teeth have been destroyed? Or has ban removed ?
If teeth are present then try to preserve it if possible by doing Root Canal treatment and replacing the missing teeth with the crowns and bridges.
Next Steps
After chemotherapy usually the salivation is reduced which aggravates the teeth decay
