DENTAL TOPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter IS BREAST CANCER RELATED TO ORAL HEALTH? Gum disease affects whole body health. Recent research shows that women with periodontal disease (advanced gum disease) are two to three times more likely to develop breast cancer. This supports the theory that breast cancer is triggered by inflammation originating in the gums. Another theory suggests that oral bacteria enter the bloodstream through the gums and affect breast tissue. Whether gum disease is a cause of cancer or just an association remains to be seen. Other studies have already shown that gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar along the gumline, so regular dental cleanings and daily flossing may help prevent cancer. A serious threat to dental health as well as to overall health is gum disease. And the best way to deal with gum disease is to prevent it, with daily brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis. At CARPENTER DENTAL, we are diligent in our approach to making sure periodontal disease doesn't destroy your smile. It is our mission at 1086 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, to deliver the highest level of care, using the latest materials and always keeping our patients comfort and well-being in mind.
