COVID-19 ORAL HEALTH

• The coronavirus can actively stay on a surface
  for up to three days. It means the virus can also
  be present on your toothbrush. You can
  undoubtedly disinfect the toothbrushes using
  hydrogen peroxide, and kill the harmful virus by
  dipping the toothbrushes for at least 15 minutes.

5

• Doctors also suggest not to use one electric
  toothbrush for more than 1-2 months. If you
  recently had flu, tooth infection, or healing
  from any health condition, make sure to change
  your toothbrush once you heal completely. Other
  tips include
• Keep your toothbrush in such a manner that it
  doesnt come in contact with bacteria, germs, or
  other harmful microorganisms.
• Use an antiseptic mouthwash to rinse your mouth
  at least twice a day.
• Use fluoridated toothpaste to brush your teeth
  twice a day.
• Floss your teeth daily to remove plaque buildup
• Quit smoking and limit your alcohol consumption
• Wash your hands with hand sanitizer, soap, or
  clean water to wash off the bacteria.
• Without washing the hands, do not touch your
  mouth or face.
• Avoid biting your nails to refrain further spread
  of COVID-19 virus.
