Some doctors are really great at breathing through their noses when they have a mask on. Some are not. The ones that are not, have a higher risk of dry socket, bad breath, and tooth decay.

You can look it up, you'll find plenty of documentation about the phenomenon on pubmed, medline, the CDC, the ADA, etc. etc. etc.

It's not about the masks. It's about the mouth breathing. Which happens more often when people wear masks.
Thanks for passing on such good information,very helpful.
