SPORTS DENTISTRY
Preventive care is one of the main aspects of sports dentistry.Depending on the type of sports played by you the dentist might advise the use of helmets, facemasks & mouth guards.In contact sports (such as soccer, football, hockey) mouth guards and helmets are your best ally.There are several types of mouth guards available, but the custom fit mouth guards are by far the best choice to protect your teeth, mouth, lips, gums & tongue; they can also prevent and lower severity of concussions as they keep your jaws from slamming together during impact & they also prevent neck injury.Frequent scuba divers might risk having jaw joint pain, gum problem or tooth squeeze (pain in centre of tooth). All these symptoms add up to diver’s mouth syndrome, which is a condition caused by air pressure change during scuba diving & by divers biting too hard on their regulators.
To avoid these problems, it’s best to visit your dentist before scuba diving & make sure your dental health is up to mark.
