Rather, once the infection has been contracted, the high bacterial load in the mouth and the chronic systemic inflammation pave the way for the severe inflammation triggered by SARS-CoV-2, so the disease can take a much more serious course and, in a number of cases, even prove fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preventing and treating periodontitis is therefore more important than ever during the pandemic. To do so, you must never neglect your oral hygiene and should have regular dental check-ups.
