Oral health during the Corona
According to the diagnosis of oral diseases and the research of oral lesions, it has been proven that poor oral hygiene and poor dental hygiene can cause severe symptoms of coronary heart disease and coronary ulcers. Corona virus is a respiratory infection and one of the ways this infection is spread is by coughing or sneezing. Saliva droplets, meanwhile, play a major role in transmitting the disease from person to person, and when particles of the corona virus are transmitted to the surface by coughing or sneezing, they can easily come into contact with others and cause the disease. Here’s how to transmit the corona virus through oral hygiene…
Studies on the transmission of coronary heart disease have shown that the oral environment of people with poor hygiene, facilitates the transfer of germs into the lungs and causes disease and inflammation in the lungs. Regular hand washing is essential for oral hygiene due to direct contact with the mouth. The salivary glands, nasal cavity, and tonsils are the most common types of ACE receptors, so viruses in the mouth and nose are easily transmitted to the respiratory tract. For this reason, toothpaste and toothbrush are said to contain cleansers that can act as a disinfectant in the mouth. Corona oral infection is more severe in people with poor oral hygiene. Oral microbial space is one of the dangerous substrates for easier coronary transmission, and this will be exacerbated in people with underlying diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and others.
People who use dentures should be more careful about their oral hygiene and prioritize regular brushing of dentures, as germs can be easily transmitted to the mouth in this situation.
Experts in the field of coronavirus transmission research recommend that if you do not eat food for a long time and do not even drink water, it 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 drinking and not eating for a long time.
