Never before has it been so clear how important it is to strengthen the immune system to protect the body from attack by pathogens and microorganisms. The health of the mouth and teeth is a signal to monitor closely, because the mouth is the main gateway for the microorganisms behind many diseases, including COVID-19.
Every day we swallow a huge number of microbes, a small proportion of which survive the digestive juices and thrive in the gut, in some cases altering the gut flora, which can weaken our immune system. It is therefore essential to follow a proper daily oral hygiene routine: brushing with an electric or manual toothbrush three times a day, after main meals, using dental floss or an interdental brush, and carefully cleaning the tongue with the toothbrush or a tongue scraper.
It is also very important to have regular dental check-ups, to catch and resolve problems such as tooth decay, gingivitis and periodontitis early on, protecting the body from infections and diseases that could pass from the mouth into the rest of the body and become systemic.
COBE Dental has always placed a careful, regular programme of professional hygiene maintenance for the prevention of oral disease at the heart of every treatment it offers. During this period our clinic has also adopted a series of measures to guarantee maximum safety for our patients and our team: personal protective equipment, air purification systems and room sanitisation have all been stepped up to the highest level to limit the spread of viruses and bacteria.
Turn to our clinic with confidence: your health will benefit all round.
