Covid 4th wave: Covid teeth a possible symptom? Know what experts have to say

The Covid-19 pandemic is once again spreading rapidly all over the world. Cases are constantly on the rise in many countries in Asia and Europe.

There are some visible symptoms that show up in your mouth or gums when the COVID virus enters or affects your dental health.
