Which of the following vaccines can directly affect oral health?

  1. Tetanus
  2. Measles
  3. HPV
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. HPV

The HPV vaccine directly and specifically impacts oral health by helping prevent HPV-related oropharyngeal/oral cancers — a unique direct oral health benefit not shared by the tetanus or measles vaccines, which don't have a comparable direct link to oral disease prevention.
