Tooth loss could be latest symptoms linked to COVID - New York Daily News
At least three recovered COVID-19 patients — 2 adult women and a 12-year-old boy — have had a tooth fall out amid their recovery from the fast-spreading disease, according to The New York Times. The founder of the online support group said her 12-year-old son similarly lost an adult tooth after beating back the illness while a second woman reported one of her teeth fell out while she snacked on some ice cream.David Okano told The Times that it’s an “extremely rare feat†for teeth to “literally fall out of their sockets.†He expressed skepticism over the suggestion that COVID could knock out adult teeth on its own, but acknowledged its possible the disease exacerbates already-existing dental issues.
