The mouth is the gateway for many bacteria and viruses to which we humans are constantly exposed. A clean and healthy mouth is generally a good barrier against bacteria and viruses. Investigations in Wuhan have shown that the oral cavity is the most important gateway for the coronavirus.
Although the transmission routes of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, which triggers the COVID-19 disease, have not yet been definitively clarified, it is certain that droplets are an important transmission route. SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in the throat, nasal mucosa, and also in saliva. (© Institute of Hygiene and Public Health of the University of Bonn, BZÖG, DAJ (edited by). From 1.9.2020).
The mouth is the gateway for many bacteria and viruses to which we humans are constantly exposed. A clean and healthy mouth is generally a good barrier against bacteria and viruses. During investigations in Wuhan, it was discovered that the oral cavity is the most important gateway for the coronavirus. It is therefore understandable that a high presence of plaque in the oral cavity with inflammation, especially on the gums (gingivitis, periodontitis) is associated with an increased risk of various diseases. The connections between periodontitis and an increased risk of diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, for example, are now well known and have been studied. Through open wounds in the inflamed areas of the gums, germs can more easily and quickly penetrate the bloodstream, from where they enter the entire body.
It can therefore be assumed that, in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic, maintaining oral health plays a particularly important role.
Naturally, not only during a pandemic is it recommended to brush your teeth with toothpaste and a toothbrush at least twice a day.
The prevailing opinion among leading dentists is that brushing your teeth at least twice a day with toothpaste helps protect against viral infections (including Covid-19).
