It seems that some people have a way higher propensity to cavities than others. Is this because they have some bacterial overgrowth? Maybe the wrong bacteria? Has there been any research into this and how to bring your mouth bacteria back to normal levels?
I'd love to not have my dentist tell me my gums are receding despite flossing and brushing the recommended amount and not usually eating sweets or carbs.
i’m predisposed to getting cavities. All my problems went away when i started flossing thoroughly before bed. I do it EVERY night of the year, regardless of when i go to sleep.
The results speak for themselves. I went to the dentist for the first time at 18 (sad i know). At 20 yrs of age i had 5 cavities, and also had 1 wisdom tooth removed due to decay. That’s when i started flossing daily. I haven’t had a cavity since, and im in my 30s now. My diet has not drastically changed either.
Floss your teeth people. Properly! The dental hygienist can teach you how.
Try this: get the travel version of a water pick / flosser. They’re like $30 and you refill them from a tap. Now put it in your shower and make it part of your shower routine.
No mess. Easy to fill. No discomfort. Almost impossible not to use at that point.
Bad dental health kills, cancer, heart disease etc. everyone knows this.
Not much more to say other than look after you teeth.
> but not to establish a direct cause-and-effect link
This is quite important, certain bacteria can cause more severe tooth decay and there will be ways to manage these (Electric toothbrush with a app to teach you how to brush).
It seems highly likely to me it'll be as expected the damage to teeth causes the HNSCC.
Either way it's good research as long as they don't mislead without proper evidence.

Look up the relation between staphylococcus and dental problems, but also cardiac, vascular, and cranial issues

I hate this tho… its easy to quantify bad dental health. But way hard to say what good is.
