Measles Warning Signs: What Pediatric Dentists Should Know
Did you know measles can show up in the mouth before the rash appears? As a pediatric dentist, you can help with early identification. Keep an eye out for Koplik spots — tiny white spots that appear inside the mouth two to three days after symptoms begin.
Recognizing these early signs can help with quicker diagnosis and prevent the spread. Learn more about Koplik spots and the measles at https://www.cdc.gov/measles/signs-symptoms/index.html.
