Abstract

I read the article regarding the nature and diffusion of COVID-19–related oral health information conducted by Tao et al [1] with great interest. Information, education, and communication are the best tools to prevent and control any disease. The paper described the temporal and geographic distribution of COVID-19–related oral health information circulated on the social media platform Weibo in China. The study’s focus was to assess COVID-19–related oral health information and explore public reaction.
