Dental health and sports are two things that wouldn't necessarily be put together however, this week we discuss oral health related behaviours reported by elite and professional athletes with Dr. Saul Konviser of Montague Dental based at Montague Mansions. A study carried out in the 2012 Olympic games found sports professionals to be at a greater risk to oral diseases compared to the average person. Saul explains why this is and what can be done about it. We talk about how custom made protection is the first line of defence in preventing a sports related tooth injury and the long term impacts a dental injury can have on an individual. An eye opening conversation and a must listen for parents and athletes alike.
