And another new false report about the MNS: This time his teeth are also supposed to fall victim.
In an article, Unser Mitteleuropa the claim of a New York dentist that MNS would lead to significant dental problems. But that is wrong, as CORRECTIV already discovered.
How did the claim come about?
The American news channel Fox News published an article with the statements of New York dentist Robert Raimondi. He warned about alleged dental problems caused by wearing an MNS, such as tooth decay, receding gums or acidic breath.
Now Our Central Europe has taken up these claims and written a complete article about the alleged dangers of MNS for the oral cavity. The false statements also spread in German and have already been shared more than 1,400 times on Facebook, according to CORRECTIV and the analysis tool Crowdtangle.

German dental associations on dental problems caused by MNS
CORRECTIV asked the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists (KZBV) and the Federal Dental Association (BZÄK). In consultation with the Institute of German Dentists (IDZ), a spokesman assured KZBV that MNS does not (!) lead to dental problems. The statement says: “Wearing MNS has been part of the practice for centuries […| to the standard hygiene measures in the medical and dental sectors and has since been practiced by surgeons and dentists for up to 10 hours a day.” In fact, it is rare to see a dentist or dentist practicing without MNS. And if they do, their teeth are usually quite attractive.
The BZÄK also stated that there is no scientific evidence “that indicates the occurrence of gum inflammation or other dental and oral diseases caused by MNS.” The experts also emphasize that regular washing and changing of MNS is important, but it still exists no direct danger to the oral cavity.

Also increased risk of stroke?
Therefore, no other claims can be made that suggest illnesses are caused by the connection between MNS and oral health. However, our Central Europe even went so far as to link gum inflammation from MNS with an increased risk of stroke. there is a study that establishes a connection between gum inflammation and strokes, it cannot have anything to do with MNS.
