Often people believe that not keeping teeth clean only causes cavities, decay and gum diseases, but poor oral hygiene can also cause fatal diseases like cancer. Dirty teeth and gums are not just limited to the mouth, but it can give rise to many serious diseases in the body, including oral cancer.

According to experts, when we do not take proper care of our teeth and gums, bacteria start growing in the mouth. These bacteria gradually increase the infection and cause inflammation in the gums (gum disease). If proper care is not taken for a long time, this infection can promote cancer cells.

Do not ignore these signs

* Frequent ulcers in the mouth: If you have frequent ulcers in your mouth and they do not heal for a long time, then it can be a sign of cancer.

* Bleeding gums: Bleeding gums while brushing or eating something can be a sign of a major oral health problem.

* Bad breath: If bad breath persists, it is a sign of increased bacteria, which can turn into a serious disease later.

* White or red rashes on the tongue or gums: These can be early symptoms of cancer, which can be dangerous to ignore.

* Difficulty chewing or swallowing: If you are having trouble eating or drinking anything and this problem persists for a long time, then definitely consult a doctor.

Follow these measures to avoid oral cancer

* Brush at least twice a day and use floss.

* Using anti-bacterial mouthwash can prevent bacteria from growing in the mouth.

* Cigarettes, tobacco and alcohol are one of the biggest causes of oral cancer. You can keep your teeth and body healthy only by avoiding them.

* Eat green vegetables, fruits and dairy products, so that teeth and gums remain strong.

* Get your teeth checked by a dentist once every 6 months, so that any problem can be detected early.
