Investigating the Association Between Oral Hygiene and Oral Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Infrequent toothbrushing and irregular dental check-ups are risk factors for oral cancer. Toothbrushing twice or more daily and visiting a dentist once a year could be recommended to reduce oral cancer risk. The study reinforces the importance of good oral health as a preventive measure in the control of oral cancer.
