Cancer affects people of all ages; it does not pick a certain age group (even children can acquire it) and it accounts to more or less than 13 percent of deaths in the world.

A group of Turkish experts studied this phenomenon. Not only were they able to discover that cancer is nowadays prevalent among the children, but they were also able to link cavity build up with it. They have studied 96 children who were cancer survivors versus 96 children who are healthy, and found out that the children who have had cancer have more cavities. They also found out that the cancer survivors have more bacteria in their mouths.
