Can Cavities Fight Cancer?

Is it possible that dental cavities can be good for you? Sort of, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The study suggests that individuals with more dental cavities are less likely to be diagnosed with head or neck cancer.

Physicians associated with the study are quick to note that JAMA's findings, conducted over an eight year period, only reveal a correlation between head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and cavities; however, correlation does not necessarily equal causation. Tooth decay remains harmful and can result in a surprising variety of health concerns. The good news is that cavities are a totally preventable and manageable problem, and Hamlin Dental Group is uniquely equipped to improve the dental situations of patients all over the Los Angeles area.
