8 TIPS ON HOW TO PUT ON, USE, TAKE OFF AND DISPOSE OF A MASK TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM COVID-19.

In the time of crisis when govt. has made it mandatory to wear a mask when going outside and also advised to wear it inside when you are near your family members, it become very essential to know how to put on, use, take off and dispose of the mask.
Dentistry and coronavirus are a topic to debate on these days. Practice modification among dentist is to be strictly followed to prevent the spread. A lot of dental procedures generate aerosols like crown and bridge etc., we have to protect our self from all these.
 Being a Dentist and running a dental clinic (KapilDental Clinic and Implant center, Rohini) I have come up with 8 tips to help people stop the spread and get the right thing done.
1.    Always wear a mask if you are visiting a place that is crowded, if you are caretaker of a person who is ill, or if you are sneezing or coughing. This will help protect the people around you and you also can protect yourself.
2.    Disposable mask is two sided; a dark(colored) and a light(white) side. The outer side of the mask, that is colored side is Hydrophobic which means it repels fluid. The inner layer (white color), is Hydrophilic which means it absorbs fluid. Hence absorbs moisture (the air that a human breathes out contains water). On an average every person breathes about 1 liter of water in 24 hours. So, always wear from the correct side otherwise you are inviting the virus!!

3.     Always clean your hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub (must contain 80 % alcohol) before putting a mask.
4.     Always hold the mask by the ear loops and then place It around your ear. Take care to cover your mouth and nose and make sure there is no gaps. It can be done by adjusting the metallic band which is present in the middle- upper part of the mask.

5.    Don’t touch mask while using it, if you accidentally touch it, wash your hands immediately.
6.    If at any point of time you want to remove it temporary, keep it open by the side by hanging it through one of the ears. Never lower the mask to your neck, as it can expose body part to the virus.
7.    Don’t use the single use mask again or if it is visibly soiled.
8.    When you want to remove it, always touch it from the behind not on the front contaminated surface. Tear the mask and discard in a yellow dustbin(used to discard contaminated waste with blood, saliva, body secretions etc.)and then clean your hands as explained above.

Have you ever wondered when you wake up in the morning and experience a bad taste  or foul smell from your mouth. When you see yourself in mirror and check your tongue and find white-yellowish covering over it.   Bad breath, called Halitosis  results from poor dental health habits. And it can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits. Millions of bacteria live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue.The mouth's warm, moist conditions are ideal for the growth of these bacteria. Hence cause bad breath in the mouth.
