Summary
A Reddit user in a long-COVID forum described eye symptoms lasting over a year and oral symptoms: receding gums, rapid plaque build-up, a suspected saliva issue and extreme dry eye on waking with red, scaling eyelids. An eye doctor diagnosed ocular rosacea and antibiotics cleared it up, until a Covid infection put them on a different antibiotic. Their receding gums improved after a two-visit dental cleaning and a root canal redone, and their mouth felt good again.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
