These days, the world is in trouble with the covid-19 virus. The most important thing to do in this process is; Paying attention to hygiene.
So, why is oral health important?
One of the information we have learned about the Covid-19 virus is that it attaches to the mouth and nose mucosa and passes from there to the lungs. When the balance is disrupted for any reason, some diseases occur, first in the oral environment and then in other parts of the body. The Covid-19 virus also finds a suitable environment for incubation in the mouth
We must pay attention to our oral hygiene so that we can be protected from disease-causing factors that settle in the mouth, especially the coronavirus.
Due to infection Our body resistance should not decrease. Our oral and dental problems should not negatively affect our nutrition. Let us not be deprived of the nutrients and vitamins we need. What should we do when we encounter a problem despite taking maximum care of our oral and dental health?
First of all, severe pain, facial pain When we encounter a problem such as swelling in the tooth, infection or inflammation in the oral environment, bleeding that does not stop, we should know that our situation is urgent and consult the nearest dentist. We should definitely not use medicine without the control of a physician. Is it risky to go to dentists?
It is the standard of dentistry that we normally wear glasses, visors and masks while caring for our patients. Covid-19 is not the first known risk of disease for dentists. Dentists have been faced with all these risks since the pre-epidemic period due to other diseases transmitted by blood, body fluids and air. In this period, there are no risks or obstacles related to dental treatments. Disrupting dental treatments may cause bigger problems. During this period, in addition to personal cleaning, it is absolutely necessary to brush your teeth at least twice a day with the correct technique.
