Season 3, Episode 24: How To Brush Your Teeth With Long COVID

11/15/24 • 8 min

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.
