An American study recommends oral hygiene: Gum disease may increase the risk of complications from Corona

Several studies have found that there is a link between oral health and the Corona virus, and a new report published in the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) found that maintaining good oral hygiene can help reduce the risks of Corona.

Gum disease can lead to corona virus

 

A study from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, according to the "thehealthsite" report, discovered a clear relationship between gingivitis and infection, as well as how oral hygiene can affect the exacerbation of Corona complications.

Many reports indicated that oral health plays an important role after the patient recovers from the Corona virus, as experts believe that it is important to take care of the gums and oral hygiene, especially during the epidemic, and an increase in oral symptoms was also reported during the second wave of the pandemic.

Simple oral hygiene can reduce the risk of Coronavirus

 

Research published in the American Journal of Oral Medicine and Dental Research shows that simple oral hygiene interventions can reduce the risk of the new Corona virus spreading from the mouth to the lungs, which prevents the onset of severe infection with the Coronavirus, and according to the results of the study, the coronavirus can enter the lungs through Saliva as the virus passes directly from the mouth into the bloodstream.

Evidence indicates that in the Corona virus, the blood vessels in the lungs are at risk first, rather than the airways, with higher levels of the virus in saliva and periodontitis associated with a higher risk of death, and researchers found that the accumulation of dental plaque and gingivitis increase the risk of infection with the Corona virus, which It affects the lungs and causes more serious infections.

Experts believe that effective oral is a life-saving procedure and can help maintain oral hygiene and reduce risks, so brushing twice a day, flossing the tongue, and gargling are some of the ways you can maintain optimal gum health.

Experts also recommend regular dental checkups to prevent gum disease.
