Today we are sharing an article from The Modern Dental Network at http://www.dentalproductsreport.com/ on a serious topic, which needs to be mentioned. Most everyone has heard about how bad oral hygiene, plaque and bacteria can lead to other medical conditions and how important it is to take care of your moth. Recent studies in this article talk about an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer with the latest findings. The disease is the latest in a string of medical conditions that have been connected to poor oral health.
"Oral bacteria have been linked to a slew of medical conditions, including heart attack, stroke, breast cancer and more, and researchers believe pancreatic cancer can be added to the list. In a recent study from the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at the NYU Langune Medical Center, researchers discovered that the presence of two specific types of bacteria, Porphyromonas gigivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, significantly raised the likelihood of developing pancreatic cancer. Both bacteria have previously been tied to periodontitis and other oral diseases."
