Bacteria that cause gum disease may do more than harm the mouth. A large study has found they could also increase the risk of head and neck cancer.

Researchers at NYU Langone Health analyzed saliva samples from more than 159,000 people across the United States and tracked them for over a decade. They discovered that 13 bacterial species linked to gum disease were associated with a 30 to 50 percent higher chance of developing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common cancers of the mouth and throat.

The findings, suggest that oral bacteria may play a significant role in cancer risk. While the study does not prove cause and effect, scientists believe these microbes could serve as warning markers for identifying high-risk individuals.
