Self-quarantine because of coronavirus presents a good opportunity to brush up on your oral health. There is a deep and well-researched connection between oral and general health and wellbeing, and keeping your dental hygiene in top condition may assist in ridding your oral cavity of bacteria. Here are some important tips on how to look after your family’s health by practicing effective oral hygiene. 


The Importance Of Dental Health 

Research shows that a number of medical conditions can affect dental hygiene and health, and also that oral health affects a number of medical conditions. There are relationships between the heart and cardiovascular health, pharyngeal and oral cancers, and diabetes with the state of health of the oral cavity. And, as we all look for ways to increase protection against coronavirus in humans, keeping the mouth clean is of the utmost importance.

Your mouth is usually full of bacteria, the majority of which are generally harmless. But it’s especially essential to keep the mouth clean, as it is the entry point to the digestive and respiratory tract, in order to try and keep coronavirus covid-19 at bay.

Most of the time your body’s ability to defend itself protects you against bacteria but, due to covid-19, it’s advisable to brush and floss at least three times a day.

If you have any allergies or underlying health conditions, it’s also worth noting that some medications can reduce your saliva. Saliva is what neutralises the acids that bacteria produce, and it is an important tool for protection against coronavirus.

If you suffer from chronic or unmanaged health conditions, it is even more important to maintain strict dental hygiene, in order to stay safe from coronavirus covid-19 as you may have lowered immunity to infection. 


Use Your Extra Time Wisely

While you are stuck at home because of coronavirus isolation it’s a great opportunity to ensure the kids are brushing and flossing correctly too.
