Summary:
The
latest research on oral cancer has lead researchers to discover that bad dental
hygiene and extreme use of mouth washes with alcohol in them can lead to
increased risks of oral/mouth cancer. Around the world there are approximately
640,000 people who contract oral cancer which can occur in the following
places: the tongue, the floor of the mouth the gum, and the cheek. The deaths
caused by oral cancer were counted to be around 7,890 in past years. These findings were discovered by the Leibniz
Institute for Prevention and Epidemiology.
Analysis:
Researchers
want to know if these finding mean anything important. And what they found was
that although poor mouth cleaning and mouth washes with alcohol cannot alone
cause oral cancer, they can increase the risk of mouth cancer when an individual
is already smoking or already consuming large amounts of alcohol. Smoking and
alcohol are the most common causes of mouth cancer and having a consistently
dirty mouth or swishing mouth wash that contains alcohol can hurt one’s chances
of fighting oral cancer if they already smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Mouth
cancer is a non-communicable disease that can be prevented. Researchers hope to
use this information to teach people that they need to every precaution to
avoid oral cancer. A cleaner mouth and mouth washes without alcohol as well as
not smoking and heavily drinking alcohol are all major ways that people can
greatly reduce their chances of getting oral cancer.
