Recent research from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has found a surprising link: the common oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum, which is often connected to gum disease, can enter the bloodstream, reach breast tissue, damage DNA, speed up tumor growth, and help cancer spread to other areas like the lungs. This effect is even stronger in cells with BRCA1 gene mutations. While there is no need to panic, this adds to growing evidence that gum disease may increase breast cancer risk by up to 22% in large studies. At Polin Dental in Boca Raton, Dr. Carly Polin and our team focus on preventing gum disease with thorough exams, gentle treatments, and options like Invisalign to help reduce plaque and support long-term oral health. Healthy gums are important not just for your smile, but for your overall health. Book your next checkup to stay on top of your wellness.
