Today, we\u2019d like to talk about another recent discovery, this time between oral bacteria and colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve talked before on this site about the different ways oral health affects overall health, and this is just one more. The connection was discovered by Yiping Han, Ph.D. of Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine and a group of collaborators. Working together, they discovered how a type of microbe, known as fusobacteria, can encourage the growth of colorectal tumors by switching on cancer growth genes and stimulating the body\u2019s inflammatory response.<\/p>\n<p>News like this should encourage patients to make regular brushing and flossing, plus regular oral exams and cleanings, more of a priority. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Goldstein<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/\">Randolph Dental Care<\/a> wants to see every patient of his twice a year. That often will help us monitor and remove bad bacteria from your mouth. Bacteria haven\u2019t just been linked to colorectal cancer\u2014they\u2019re also the cause of tooth decay and gum disease.<\/p>\n<p>Do you need to schedule your next appointment with <strong>Dr. Goldstein<\/strong> and his <strong>Randolph<\/strong> dental team? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randolphdental.com\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> us today to schedule something.
