BPR: As if the debate over face mask-wearing amid COVID-19 isn’t contentious enough in some quarters, a dental practice is warning that keeping your mouth covered all or most of the time could allegedly lead to harmful hygiene issues such as gum recession (i.e., periodontal disease) and bad breath.
A Manhattan dentist calls this potential side effect “mask mouth” as a play on “meth mouth” that colloquially refers to the decay of teeth and gums among drug addicts. more
The good news is, with the mask on, no one can see your bad teeth or smell your bad breath.
I’m sure the smug Karens would just say do you want to have bad breath or kill someone. Good thing no one wants to get close enough to them to smell their breath.
Maybe so, but at least they don’t spread Covid (allegedly).
I am taking that damn mask off when I’m in the Doc’s office on Thursday, because the last two times I’ve been in, my blood pressure was up. I don’t normally have high blood pressure. I knew that face mask 😷 was causing me problems.
If they give me any crap, I’m going to tell them why and if they give me more crap, I’m going to tell them to talk to my attorney. It’s time to fight back. 🤬
Miss Kitty, my experience is that the doctors offices are where they are most understanding of not wearing a mask. That’s assuming you get past the masknazis at the entrance. Once you get past them the nurses and doctors seem to understand. They don’t like it any more than we do.
Thanks joe6pack 😉
Miss Kitty – My doctor is the same as @joe6pak. They do not like having to go through all of the hoops (masks, mandatory hand cleaning, dealing with all of the triage so the hospitals can handle the serious cases). They are conforming because they have to in order to stay in business.
FUKC THESE POLITICIANS AND THEIR MUTHERFUKCING ORDINANCES! ARE WE NOT FREE? I WILL THROAT PUNCH THE NEXT MUTHERFUKCER THAT TAKES IT UPON ITSELF TO CORRECT MY NONCOMPLIANCE…. SICK OF ALLLL OF THIS STUPID SHIT!
Miss Kitty–I promise they will understand that you need to take it off and don’t hold your breath while they are taking it! I wish you luck with your B/P and hope it is down.
Don’t have any real teeth any longer. Still not wearing any mask.
I have heard this!! Bacteria is wreaking havoc on the mouth. Not to mention that I noticed zits rising up around the mouth and nose. I can’t stand nose zits! That shit hurts! 😡
Masks are anal band aids!
Thumbs up everybody for all your feedback, love my peeps at the iotw.
🕊️❤️🙏
And here I thought wearing a Cpap at night was boarder line madness ….
Well, if that’s true. If the ADA advocates mask wearing it will increase their income over the next few coming years. The Manhattan dentist may be in trouble for issuing the warning.
The real questions is if the mask gives you bad teeth and gums, does it give you a British accent too?
These leftist Governors don’t care.
They don’t care that their stupid shutdowns are killing businesses and the livelihoods of many, many people and their employees. They don’t care that their states’ economies are in the toilet.
If they can keep it going just in case they can get more federal taxpayer money and keep their little fistfuls of power, they don’t care who they hurt. Or how badly.
The good news: Darwinism will prevail and the mask-o-maniac prog cult freaks will die out sooner than the rest of us.
