Research has linked oral bacteria that cause gum disease to esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is often discovered when it's already in the advanced stage. Here's more.
Key takeaways:
- High levels of bacteria like Tannerella forsythia and Porphyronomas gingivitis in the mouth cause esophageal cancers.

​Brush and floss your teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. Visit the dentist regularly for a thorough checkup.
