Radiation from mobile phone towers could be a reason for increasing oral problems in people, said a doctor at Saveetha Dental College and Hospital here on Wednesday.
“The environment plays an important part in the health and oral health. Even the radiation from the cell phone towers can be a reason for oral problems,” said Pratibha Ramani, Professor and Head of Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at the hospital.
She was speaking to the media after extraction of 526 teeth from the mouth of a seven-year-old boy in a rare surgery performed at the hospital.
