Did you know that the mouth is one of the first to receive viruses and infections, along with the nose? For this it is essential that you take care of your oral health in times of Pandemic by Covid 19 and do not postpone your dental appointments. 

In addition to this, downplaying your oral health can cause problems with your teeth and gums. Stress, poor eating habits, and poor oral hygiene can lead to problems such as cavities, inflammation of your gums, tooth wear, and even tooth loss.

For this, we give you below some 3 tips for taking care of your oral health in times of Pandemic by Covid 19.

Tip 1. Visit your dentist

Visiting your dentist should be a priority. Many months have passed and it is necessary that you carry out a general check on the state of your teeth and your gums, to prevent serious problems. We provide you with two fundamental reasons:

1. As the days go by, the teeth become covered with bacterial plaque and this plaque can generate cavities and inflammation in your gums.
2. Stress due to the changes that have been generated in our life and work can cause problems such as bruxism (or involuntary clenching of your teeth). This tightening can be the cause of wear on your teeth and problems with your jaw.
3. 
   

To avoid more serious problems, we recommend scheduling a visit to your dentist for your general check-up as soon as possible.

Tip 2. Carry out adequate Oral Hygiene

Oral hygiene becomes essential. Remember to make a correct brushing at least 3 times a day and always after each meal.

In addition to brushing your teeth, remember that it is important to use the Dental Floss at least once a day and use mouthwash. 

You can use natural products such as Bucoplack: cream, rinse and spray for the care of your oral hygiene (ask us how to get it).

Tip 3. Take care of your habits

Take care of your eating habits and avoid foods that contain sugar and hard foods. Foods high in sugar promote cavities and hard foods can cause cracks or breaks in your teeth.

Also avoid dark drinks or foods with seasonings like curry. In addition to causing stains on your teeth, they can cause bad breath. If you consume them, it is advisable to brush your teeth after taking or eating them.

We also recommend forgetting habits such as cigarettes or liquor. They are detrimental to general health, as well as to your teeth.

Do not forget that more than ever it is important that dedicate time to your health: it should be one of your priorities. Health professionals, both dentists and doctors, are prepared to care for patients by putting into practice all the Necessary Biosafety Protocols.
