Winter is the peak season for colds and flu and this year particularly, many of us have had personal experience of succumbing to one of a number of flu viruses. Of course, when we’re sick, the priority is to recover as soon as possible and limit our social interactions to prevent others from catching whatever we have. But once we’re well, it’s important to think about the potential effects that being sick may have had on our oral health. Make an appointment with your dentist to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy.
It’s important to visit your dentist for regular 6 monthly appointments, or more often if advised. After recovery from the flu, it’s a good idea to book a dental check-up to ensure that there are no long-lasting effects on your oral health. Let the receptionist know that you’ve been unwell when you book your appointment. The surgery may recommend a clearance time after you’ve recovered, just to ensure there is no risk of passing on germs.
If you’ve been unwell with the flu this year and haven’t visited the dentist, book an appointment so you can stay on top of your oral health.
