Thank you for the thank you! It is my pleasure to help with the California Medi-Cal Dental Program!

A new study finds that gum disease may raise the chances of hospitalization or death if COVID-19 strikes. The reason? Gum disease can be a sign of inflammation throughout the body. "Maintaining healthy teeth and gums in an effort to avoid developing or worsening periodontal disease is absolutely crucial in the midst of a global pandemic like COVID-19, which is also known to trigger an inflammatory response."

How to Brush With an Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush You can achieve better plaque removal and gingivitis reduction with an electric rechargeable toothbrush that utilizes oscillating-rotating technology than with a regular manual toothbrush. This brushing action is very different from ordinary manual toothbrushes, as it does the job of brushing for you. Be sure to guide the brush head to all parts of your mouth.... Step 1: Hold the brush parallel to the floor, against the side of your teeth. Step 2: Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth, following the curve of the teeth and gums. It isn't necessary to press hard or scrub. Simply let the electric rechargeable toothbrush do all the work. Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth. Step 3: Don't forget to reach all areas, including the insides, outsides, chewing surfaces, and behind your back teeth. Refer to the brushing instructions supplied with your electric rechargeable toothbrush for additional information. Remember, you have the power to keep your teeth as plaque-free as possible at home, helping to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime.

While most of California is now under new stay-at-home orders, it's important to know that there are no new restrictions on dental care as it is considered an essential health care service. We have sanitation and disinfection procedures in place to keep patients safe at our dental office. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!

Is it safe to visit the dentist? According to an infectious disease expert at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, visiting the dentist is a low-risk activity for the patient and there has been no evidence of coronavirus transmission in dental offices since many reopened in May.
