Default Alert, How Face Masks Are Affecting Oral Health

I can't help but mention this here and in no way promoting this NY dentist. So many have dental issues anyway and now???? There could be many dental sites with this info but I didn't do a search.

What Jomar has said is very sensible.

I only wear a mask when in public.

The risk of not wearing a mask and getting infected with Covid-19 is far worse.

I have not been out in public since Covid and will be going to my MD for a late annual check in and seeing her will be my first time needing to wear a mask, reluctantly. Around my apt bldg and with friends/family, no mask here.

Caroline, n=1 is not a significant sample (elementary statistics).
