Wash Your Hands Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hand-washing is not only about frequency (although that\u2019s important as well). It\u2019s equally about doing it the right way so that it\u2019s <em>effective<\/em>. Be sure to wash at least 20 seconds with soap and water and thoroughly rub your fingertips, nails, in between your fingers, and the front and back of your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, your soap doesn\u2019t need to be anti-bacterial, which only kills bacteria and offers no added advantage for viruses like COVID-19 or cold and flu. Regular soap is the best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to wash your hands when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You return home from a public place (particularly if you used a touch screen or keypad to make payments, as they harbor a huge amount of \u201cbugs.\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After using the bathroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Avoid Contact Closer Than Six Feet In Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying home is incredibly important, and most states have enacted a shelter in place rule during COVID-19. But when you\u2019re in a public place like the grocery store, maintain a six foot distance between yourself and others as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cough and Sneeze Into a Tissue Or Your Elbow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If possible, coughing or sneezing into a tissue and then disposing of the tissue immediately is your best bet, as any droplets from your nose, mouth and lungs that might contain the virus are prevented from spreading to other people. If that\u2019s not possible, cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow. Avoid using your hand because that\u2019s an easy way to spread viruses to any surface you touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use Cloth or a Mask To Cover Your Nose and Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since people can spread COVID-19 or the flu before they have symptoms themselves, the CDC has recommended covering your nose and mouth with cloth or a facemask. However, they advise <strong>against <\/strong>using a medical facemask such as an N95 that could otherwise be used by a healthcare worker. There are many tutorials online for how to create a DIY facemask with a piece of fabric and two elastics or rubber bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Disinfect Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each day, disinfect frequently touched items like doorknobs, light switches, counters, remote controls, drawer handles, phones, toilets, faucets, keyboards, sinks, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you aren\u2019t able to find any disinfectant on store shelves, you can make your own by diluting 5 <em>tablespoons<\/em> of bleach into a gallon of water, or 4 <em>teaspoons<\/em> into a quart of water (just make sure the area is well ventilated, wear gloves, and avoid mixing with ammonia). You can also simply use rubbing alcohol with at least 70% strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes without saying that no one wants to see themselves or a loved one get sick from COVID-19. By diligently following these 5 simple guidelines, you\u2019ll have a much better chance of staying healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients at Young Dental Advanced Dental Arts benefit from two dentists and an anesthesiologist who are passionate about improving people\u2019s lives by enhancing their oral health. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-young.html\">Dr. Young<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-montileaux.html\">Dr. Montileaux<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-pfeiffer.html\">Dr. Pfeiffer<\/a> collaborate to offer a comprehensive menu of services, including cosmetic procedures, to meet your family\u2019s unique needs under one roof.
