AND DENTAL PLAQUE ARE LINKED

Dental plaque may not cause cancer, but it harbors and encourages something that does - this is the consistent finding of dozens of studies over the decades.

Self-care, like daily brushing and flossing, are small measures we can take to prevent bigger issues than gum disease and tooth loss.

Chemo and depression make it hard for cancer patients to maintain oral hygiene.

With any illness or life-changing event, self-care easily can be neglected amid the pain, grief and fatigue of getting through it.
![Page 14: Cancer Risk And Dental Plaque Are Linked](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Those fighting cancer of any kind are at higher risk from hosting known cancer-causing bacteria that thrive in plaque.
![Page 15: Cancer Risk And Dental Plaque Are Linked](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c35/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It would be tragic to lose the war on cancer by succumbing to battle fatigue that could let new cancers win.

Offer to take someone you know who is struggling to get to dental appointments.

It is vitally important to use cleaning aids, raise the brush and fly the floss lest chemotherapy and depression give periodontal health a back seat on the road to survive cancer.

BRUSHING AND FLOSSING'S MAIN JOBS REAP NUMEROUS REWARDS
![Page 19: Cancer Risk And Dental Plaque Are Linked](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c35/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The refreshing feeling of a clean mouth and teeth are enough incentive for most of us to keep up our brushing and flossing for life …
![Page 20: Cancer Risk And Dental Plaque Are Linked](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032803/5681297a550346895d8c1c35/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
… yet we find those few brush and floss minutes a sacrifice at times and we skimp on or skip out.

Besides the big-picture, prevention of tooth decay and gum disease, think how sweeter cuddling with the kids or kissing the sweetheart are with just-brushed teeth.
