Have you recovered from Corona and are you experiencing long-term side effects?
You are at risk of losing teeth.
If until now patients who recovered reported side effects such as fatigue, cardiovascular problems, damage to muscles, hearing and sense of smell, now it turns out that in some of them, who previously suffered from dental or gum problems, the corona virus can lead to gum damage, dental problems And even to their downfall.
This is reported by The New York Times following a series of cases in which people who were healed reported falling teeth.
Dr. David Okano, a gum specialist at the University of Utah, commented on these reports and said: In the blood system, there are cells of different types in the body, including the type of cells found in the nerves of the teeth. "
According to Dr. Michael Scherer, a specialist in dentistry and gums at Sonora, California, "Heart and blood diseases are often manifested in the gums.
Therefore, damage to the teeth may well be a phenomenon of long-term effect of the corona virus on the body. "
Meanwhile, these are rare symptoms, but there are more and more reports of dental problems among recovering patients.
In relation to this, Dr. William Lee, president of the International Association for the Study of Blood Diseases, says: “Teeth that fall out just without bleeding are rare.
However, because the virus affects the blood vessels, dental problems can be caused.
We need to stay open-minded and check on patients who already have dental problems, because despite the rarity of the phenomenon, we may see more such cases in the future. "
