| Mask Mouth 17:38 - Oct 1 with 854 views | Highjack |
Medical experts are warning that excessive use of face coverings during the Covid-19 pandemic could be leading to all sorts of other health problems such as excess bacteria build up in the mouth, nose and throat causing inflammation of the gums, tooth decay, halitosis and could contribute to other more serious health problems like stroke or heart disease. They have dubbed this “mask mouth”.
Now obviously this won’t affect a lot of people who only wear them for short periods whilst popping in a shop etc but for others they are now required by law to wear these things for their entire shifts sometimes 10+ hours a day.
Is it time the powers that be review the mandatory wearing of these masks in certain situations as it has the potential to be doing far more harm than good?

Maybe we should not have any lockdown and no masks and no social distancing.
Open sport stadia ,concert venues and let' all let our folk party.
If they die,too bad.

That’s quite a leap there. | |

Potentially yeah, there’s a proven link between oral health and cardiovascular disease. I’m reading comments from dentists saying that people who have had healthy mouths all their lives are now turning up with cavities and inflammation.
“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ “ | |

Not to mention the cuts behind the ears from the rubbing. | |

It's a load of old pony from an interest story in the NY Times. The only issue is not drinking enough water as an overly dry mouth can encourage growth of some bugs like Porphymonas gingivitis which as the name suggests is associated with gum disease. You just notice bad breath wearing a mask. I wear them for 4-5 hours in work regularly when handling animals. You know when you had a curry the night before shall we say. And I can issue you a FPP3 is more uncomfortable too | | | |

There will be experts on both sides of this arguement, just as they are over all things covid related.
The problem being, only one side are being considered! |  |

No Andy there is not. A few charlatans (Sikora) and self publicists like Hennegan and Gupta are being given airtime when 95% of infectious disease and public health specialists would disagree with what they say. Gupta’s ex-husband is the director of the Jenner Institute in Oxford leading the vaccine efforts which seems a bit ironic. | | | |

Load of old fanny.
The anti-mask lot will lap it up though.
You'd have thought someone would have noticed by now that asbestos removal boys (for example) were gummy f*ckers who were prone to heart attacks. |  |

The effects of hard lockdown and recession/depression could well kill more people than coronavirus. |  |

Mask mouth, itchy sphincter.
Just two ends of the same problem. |  |

Is it really that far fetched? Warm, moist areas like the inside of masks are usually a haven for bacteria and if you’re constantly breathing in that bacteria for a sustained period of time it probably isn’t good for you at least? | |

Few greater havens than the mouth itself HJ. No food source in a mask for bacteria. | | | |
