MONDAY, Aug. 9 (HealthDayNews) -- New research appears to raise
questions about a possible link between tooth whiteners and oral
cancer.

Researchers at Georgetown University conducted two case studies and a
retrospective study of fewer than 20 people with oral cancer and
concluded that people who use tooth whiteners were more likely to get
metastatic lymph nodes.

The results did not establish any conclusive link between tooth
whiteners and oral cancer but did raise some intriguing possibilities,
according to the researchers.

They noted that while carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide
generated in the tooth whitening process are not proven carcinogens,
they cause local inflammation and mucosal trauma at high
concentrations.

The complex interactions of this inflammatory response, combined with
other factors, have an unpredictable effect on tissues, according to
the researchers.

The research is to be presented at the International Conference on
Head and Neck Cancer, which runs from Aug. 7 to 11 in Washington, D.C.
