I wonder if dentistry work may cause cancer viruses to penetrate the body easier?

Question

They say that a cancer virus has a gestation period of 8 years. But one has to wonder how it gets into the blood to make a mutation there. I am wondering if the most likely place for some people is from the mouth when they get dental work done?

Answer 1

If you mean mercury fillings, maybe way off. People with mercury fillings don't have a higher cancer rate than others. As far as is known most cancers are not caused because of a virus, this is rare although recently publicized with cervical cancer.

Without dental work, you could get digestive problems. That can contribute to increase of cancer risk.

With rare exceptions cancers are not caused by a virus. Digestive disorders are more likely to contribute to increased cancer risk.

As far as is known most cancers are not caused by a virus. In the case of female disorders cervical cancer caused by a virus was known for a long time.
