Does triclosan cause odontogenic tumors, or would it not be in toothpaste if it did? i have an odontoma. used face wash for yrs with triclosan.likely?

Possible: triclosan has been shown experimentally, and in lab animals to have an association with certain cancers, particularly breast cancer. this is because it is a xeroestrogen, a chemical that mimics the effects of estrogen. the most recent summary of evidence in humans, however, is inconclusive. because odontoma are not generally estrogen-sensitive, it is unlikely that your tumor is related.
