Do you know how important it is to clean your mouth clean and keep yourself healthy, away from bacterias? If you think the cavity is the only thing spreading through your mouth, then you are absolutely wrong.
Your mouth can also spread various health diseases for instance coronavirus. Aren’t we walking around with masks with the fear of the virus entering our body through the mouth or nose? The same applies to heart disease and chest infections.
Bacterias and germs that enter your mouth can travel through your body and harm the heart when your mouth is unclean. Not only does it cause heart problems but also depletes your immune system.
And indirectly contribute to diabetes, osteoporosis, many respiratory diseases, and rarely some cancers.
If you keep your oral health tidy from time to time and take light treatments for minor problems such as cavities and gum problems you can avoid big dangers.

Treatment for oral problems has been greatly reduced due to the recent coronavirus pandemic.
In the first phase of the lockdown, nearly 90 million children were completely excluded from even minor dental treatment. According to a study from March 2020 to March 2021 in our country, the percentage of children coming to the dentist has dropped from 34% to 10%. When it comes to adults, the number of adults coming in for treatment has dropped from 32.6% to 23.6% in the last two years.
These statistics show that the threat of many diseases that used to be easily prevented is now hugely looming. Basically with screening or at the stage of a minor problem i.e., small fillings for cavities, minimal treatments such as fitting crowns on worn teeth, and the threat of a very big catastrophe that can be missed with dental cleaning scaling now lurks.
If you have gum problems or are suffering from a cavity we suggest you consult a doctor ASAP instead of ignoring it. Now that the coronavirus is disappearing from our lives and with billions of people vaccinated effectively there would be slight chances of virus injection hence you need to let go of fear and try to keep your overall health under check. Don’t neglect your oral health.
