Bridge The Gap
In this podcast, host Puneet Nanda and veteran dental hygienist Joanne explore the alarming link between oral sex, the human papillomavirus (HPV), and the rapid rise of oral cancer. Jo-Anne explains that HPV-related cancers often develop in hard-to-see areas like the tonsils, making regular neck and extra-oral screenings by dental professionals essential for early detection. The episode strongly emphasizes the life-saving potential of the HPV vaccine, which can prevent 92% of future HPV-attributable cancers and is beneficial even for older adults. Additionally, the discussion highlights holistic hygiene practices—such as oil pulling and water flossing—to maintain a protective barrier against viruses, and encourages routine self-examinations.
