Lifestyle Interventions for the Prevention of Oral Cancer

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Textbook of Oral Cancer

Part of the book series: Textbooks in Contemporary Dentistry ((TECD))

Abstract

Lifestyle-related risk factors contribute significantly to the etiology of oral cancer. These include tobacco and alcohol use and areca nut chewing, while emerging factors include poor oral hygiene, microbes, maté consumption, and HPV infection. Tobacco use has decreased in high-income countries in the past few decades, but heavy use still continues in middle- and low-income countries. Primary prevention in the form of appropriate health education aiming at modifying lifestyles is the key to prevention of oral cancer.
