Season 3, Episode 24: How To Brush Your Teeth With Long COVID
Discusses two recommendations from my dental hygienist and dentist to help people with Long COVID perform dental care/oral hygiene when symptomatic.
- Electric toothbrush
– More expensive than regular toothbrushes but
Ideal for us when our arms are tired/aching and it is
hard to move our arms around.
– I think of it as an investment to avoid having to pay
for fillings, etc.
– I have an Oral B iO toothbrush but any electric toothbrush will do
- OraCare Mouthwash:
– You have to get it from your dentist
– It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi and breaks
down Biofilm
– It is recommended for people undergoing
chemotherapy who are too weak to perform oral/
dental hygiene.
– $45 per box of two 16 oz bottles
– pump 3 pumps from each bottle, allow it to mix/
mingle for 30 seconds, then swish for 30-60
seconds and spit

ALSO: this was not mentioned in the episode but if I am tired I will sit in a chair or on the bathroom floor while performing oral hygiene.
