Take Teeth Care in Corona-Dr.Nikhita Nagar

It has been more than 6 months since the coronavirus (COVID-19) came into existence and so far more than 10 million people around the world have been infected with this new novel coronavirus disease COVID-19. Till now no definitive treatment of this disease has been discovered and due to this, Covid-19 infected patients are currently being treated only to reduce their symptoms like fever, cough and shortness of breath.

Doctors have confirmed that elderly people over 60 years and those who already have a disease have the highest risk of severe symptoms of Covid-19 infection. However, according to a study published in the British Dental Journal on 26 June 2020, people who have poor oral hygiene i.e. those who do not take care of their mouth cleanliness are also at higher risk of getting Kovid-19 infection. Especially those who already have a disease.
Lung infection caused by oral bacteria-

It is generally observed that infection in the lower respiratory tract (lower respiratory tract) is caused by inhalation of microorganisms contained in the infectious particles present in the atmosphere or by infectious microorganisms present in the mouth (oral cavity) such as P. Because of .jingivalis, F. nucleatum, and P. intermedia.
Due to not cleaning the mouth properly, there may be a serious problem of swelling and burning in the gums. After this, the bone under the gums, which in medical language is called Periodontitis, begins to be denied. Certain enzymes are also found in saliva (saliva) of a patient suffering from pericarditis such as aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST, alt), lactate dehydrogenase (ldh), cretin canes (CK), alkaline and acidic phosphatases ( alp, ACP) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GT).

All these enzymes alter the mucous membranes present inside the mouth in such a way that they allow lung-causing bacteria to stick to the mucous membranes and grow. Scientists further state that cytokines (a type of immune cell present in the body) such as interleukin-1 and TNF that are present in the tissues suffering from Periodontitis dissolves in saliva and are then absorbed by the lungs. These cytokines cause some changes in the cellular layers of the lungs, causing infection-causing bacteria to grow in the lungs.
Dr. Nikhita Nagar says that the results of this study led to the conclusion that if a person takes full care of his mouth cleanliness, then the risk of lung infection can be reduced. Apart from this, many of the complexes associated with Kovid-19 like - pneumonia and sepsis risk can also be reduced. For this, it is very important that people brush well 2 times daily so that they can protect their mouths from disease-causing bacteria. People suffering from Periodontitis should visit their dentist regularly and get their teeth and mouth cleaned properly.
Don't be afraid of Kovid-19, be careful. Be healthy yourself and keep your loved ones healthy as well.
