Important recommendations for oral hygiene in the Corona era
According to the diagnosis of an oral disease specialist and the research of an oral lesion specialist in Canada, it has been proven that poor oral hygiene and lack of dental hygiene can cause severe symptoms of corona disease in the mouth and the occurrence of oral ulcers in corona. Corona virus is a respiratory infection and one of the ways of spreading this infection is coughing or sneezing. In the meantime, saliva droplets play the main role of transmitting this disease from one person to another, and when the particles of the corona virus are transferred on surfaces by coughing or sneezing, they can easily come into contact with others and become the cause of the disease. In the following, we will tell how the corona virus is transmitted through oral hygiene…
Maintaining oral and dental hygiene in Corona
Studies conducted in the field of corona disease transmission have shown that the oral environment of people who have poor hygiene, causes the easy transfer of microbes into the lungs and causes disease and inflammation in the lung. Constant washing of hands is necessary to maintain oral hygiene due to direct contact with the mouth. Salivary glands, nasal cavity and tonsils have the most types of ACE receptors, for this reason, viruses that exist in the mouth and nose are easily transferred to the respiratory system. For this reason, it has been said that toothpaste and toothbrush contain cleaning agents that can play the role of decontamination in the mouth. Corona oral infection is more serious in people with poor oral hygiene. The oral microbial space is one of the dangerous platforms for the easier transmission of corona, and this issue will be worse in people who have underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc.
Observance of hygiene in people who use artificial teeth
People who use dental prostheses should be more careful about their oral hygiene and prioritize the continuous washing of artificial teeth, because germs may easily be transferred to the mouth in this situation.
Experts in the field of corona virus transmission research recommend that if food is not eaten and even water is not drunk for a long time, this will reduce the flow of saliva in the mouth and cause decay and transmission and multiplication of the virus in the oral environment. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid eating and drinking for a long time.
It is recommended to brush your teeth at least twice a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste for the proper functioning of the oral cavity in order to prevent the deterioration of the corona disease in the mouth and teeth.
