How to prevent tongue cancer from lifestyle habits

In fact, tongue cancer is largely caused by our bad living habits, such as not brushing teeth for breakfast and excessive consumption of irritating foods. To prevent tongue cancer, we need to make adjustments in our living habits. So, what adjustments do we need to make in our living habits to prevent tongue cancer?

First of all, we should pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life, develop a good habit of brushing teeth every morning and evening, and rinsing mouth after meals to avoid residues in the teeth. In addition, for patients who wear dentures, they should also keep their teeth clean, keep the dentures intact at all times, and correct uncomfortable dentures in time.

Secondly, if you have oral ulcers, erosions, or pain in your life, it is best to get a diagnosis as soon as possible. If there are cavities, they should be filled early, and the residual crowns and roots that can be repaired should be treated in time to restore the normal anatomical shape of the teeth as soon as possible; sharp non-functional cusps and marginal ridges should be ground to make the cusps and marginal ridges of the occlusal surface of the crown rounded and blunt to prevent damage to the lingual marginal tissue.

Finally, doing a good job of cancer prevention in life is very effective in preventing tongue cancer, so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved. If benign lesions or precancerous lesions are found, such as papilloma of the tongue or erosive lichen planus, they should be removed and biopsied in time, or actively treated and observed regularly; if there is erosion, fissure or ulcer on the tongue surface, it should be taken seriously and cytology or biopsy should be performed if necessary.

Tongue cancer is a type of malignant tumor in oral cancer, so daily living habits are crucial. In terms of diet, first of all, you should smoke less or quit smoking, drink less or quit drinking. Long-term and large-scale drinking of tobacco and alcohol is not only not conducive to the condition, but also increases the risk of cancer. In addition, you should eat less fried, pickled, moldy, sour and spicy foods, because these foods contain a large number of carcinogenic factors, which will increase the acidic substances in the body and cause cancer.
