A latest research conducted by the University of Birmingham, found that daily oral health care could aid in the reduction of disease severity in those battling the&nbsp;COVID-19 infection. The researchers noted that the coronavirus could pass into people's lungs from the saliva, if individuals are suffering from gum disease.
For the study, investigators created a model using CT scans of lungs from patients who had confirmed COVID-19 infection.&nbsp;
The study published in the Journal of Oral Medicine and Dental Research, shows that there is emerging evidence that some mouthwashes are highly effective at inactivating the Covid-19 virus.
Experts recommended that the public should take simple measures to maintain their oral hygiene such as careful tooth brushing to reduce plaque build-up and use of mouthwashes or even saltwater rinsing to reduce gingival inflammation. These simple steps could help decrease the viral concentration in the saliva.
Apart from these, here are some important tips suggested by Dentists so that people do not get re-infected.
A person who has recently recovered from Covid-19 should change their toothbrush and tongue cleaner after 20 days of getting the first symptoms. This not only protects the person from chances of re-infection but can also save others who use the same washroom in the house. Covid-19 patients are advised to dry and disinfect their toothbrush and tongue cleaner.
One should also use mouthwash and do gargles using&nbsp;betadine&nbsp;as it helps in reducing the build-up of virus and bacteria in the mouth.
If someone in the family has contracted Covid-19, it is also important not to keep toiletry items (toothbrush, tongue cleaner, etc) of the household together as it increases the chances of transmission.

Is the rise in cases linked to the variants? Can the new variants escape detection in and RT-PCR test?
On today's episode of Ask The Doctor, Vikram Chandra talks to Dr. Gagandeep Kang, Virologist, Professor, CMC Vellore &amp; Former Chair, ICMR Panel on Covid Drugs; Dr. Rama Srivastava, President IMA, Lucknow; &amp; Dr. Shruti Tandan Pardasani, Critical Care Specialist, Jaslok Hospital Mumbai.

Social distancing and masking are not the only two things you need to fully protect yourself and your family from Covid-19, adding an insurance policy is of equal importance to financially insulate you from the soaring medical expenses.
Even though your regular insurance may over hospitalisation charge an additional policy may be required to ensure your home care costs are also covered.&nbsp;
Here are the ways in which you can claim a reimbursement for your home-care treatment?
<ul>
<li>Insurance regulator has rolled policy for home care expenses.&nbsp;Corona Kavach Policy (individual and family floater), most insurance companies are now offering it as a top up to your existing or even a fresh insurance investment.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Corona Kavach policy offers coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh. If you have a&nbsp;Corona Kavach&nbsp;policy you can get your bills reimbursed even if you are treated at home.One can buy it for a period of 3.5 months, 6.5 months or 9.5 months and can renew it.&nbsp;</li>
<li>However, while 30 companies offer Corona Kavach policy&nbsp;they do not offer the policy for senior citizens aged above 65.</li>
<li>What Corona Kavach will pay for: Cost tests, doctor consultations, medical bills upto 14 days, active treatment provided by a hospital at home&nbsp;</li>
<li>Be mindful for claims: Doctor&rsquo;s prescription and recommendation of home care is a must, all medical expenses must be backed by proper bills with GST, will not support claims of unauthorised treatment plans.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Even as you explore the Corona Kavach option, one should look over their existing healthplan and speak to the insurer as many are offering an extension in the same to cover most covid costs.&nbsp;
