LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Recent research reveals an alarming trend: Gen X and millennial Americans face a heightened risk of developing various cancers compared to older generations. But could the secret to prevention lie in something as simple as your toothbrush? Dr. Jay Grossman, L.A.’s premier dentist, believes it just might.
According to the New York Post, an encouraging new study suggests that performing the bare minimum of daily oral care—regularly brushing and flossing—could drastically reduce the risk of head and neck cancers (HNCs). These cancers, which include malignancies of the oral and nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, and thyroid, account for nearly 3% of cancer diagnoses in the U.S. and more than 1.5% of cancer deaths.
“Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about preventing cavities anymore; it’s a potentially lifesaving habit,” says Dr. Grossman. “Oral hygiene has long been linked to overall health, but this new evidence is a game changer in the fight against cancer.”
With the heightened risks facing younger generations, this study offers a simple, proactive step for everyone to help mitigate the danger. Dr. Grossman encourages patients and the public to prioritize their oral health for a brighter smile and a healthier future.
