What are the causes of cancer lesions exactly? Just curious, it told me it was the lack of brushing.
Canker (not cancerous) wounds are often caused by consumption of acidic foods or salty. ie: lemons, oranges, potatoes fried salted, acid, etc. not gelled not brush their teeth (which causes tooth decay and gingevitis). Very different.
Herpes simplex virus ..
Causes of ulcers
Nobody knows what causes canker sores. The vast majority of people who develop canker sores do not have another problem than the cause.
The disease is suspected following an immune system response.
Other factors may include:
Bacterial infections
Hormonal disorders
Stress
Trauma
Heredity
allergies or food sensitivities (acidic foods such as pineapples)
Deficiencies of iron, folic acid or vitamin B12
Some studies have suggested an association with Helicobacter pylori, the same bacteria that cause peptic ulcers.
recurrent mouth ulcers have been associated with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In these cases, the development of canker sores may signal a flare of bowel disease.
Celiac, or abdominal, carrots, a disease of the intestines caused by sensitivity to gluten, causes malabsorption and is associated with the development of ulcers. Gluten refers to a group of proteins found in wheat, barley and rye.
Behcet's disease is a disease characterized by mouth ulcers, genital herpes-like sores, and inflammation of the eye.
Infection with the AIDS virus has also been associated with canker sores.
It is a common misconception that canker sores are a form of herpes. This is not the case.
I thought it was related with the herpes virus.
I think you may be asking about "canker" sores, not cancer. Here is a really great site about them: http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/diseases_ ...
Do you mean canker sores? I get when I eat tomatoes or other things with a lot of acid in it. You do not know about brushing teeth thing. Why do you have and you are not brushing your teeth. LOL Just kidding.
Canker sores are caused by a variant of herpes virus. Most people contract when they were children. It has nothing to do with brushing teeth or other type of hygiene.
I used to get a lot of canker sores when I had braces on teeth that can cut the inside of my mouth. My braces would cut irritating and develops into a canker sore. I havent had a canker sore since my braces were removed. I also heard that acidic foods like tomatoes can cause them.
I think you mean canker sores, and they are caused by viruses, to be exact, the herpes simplex virus. Most adults who had chicken pox as a child carry this virus in their nervous system.
Ummmmm ... Cancer?
Cancer causes sores "cancer".
I would say that cancer. Or do you mean canker sores?
The cause of canker sores is not well understood. More than one cause is likely even for individual patients. Canker sores do not appear to be caused by viruses or bacteria, although an allergy to a type of bacterium often found in the mouth may trigger them in some people. The wounds may be an allergic reaction to certain foods. In addition, there is research suggesting that canker sores may be caused by a defective immune system that uses the body's defenses against disease to attack and destroy normal cells in the mouth or tongue.
British studies show that about 20 percent of patients, canker sores are due partly to nutritional deficiencies, especially lack of vitamin B12, folic acid and iron. Sim.
