When individuals lose or damage a tooth during a sporting event, it is important to act quickly and efficiently to increase the chances of making a full recovery.
The most common types of dental sporting injuries are:
Each of these types of injury does warrant immediate treatment by an emergency dentist ASAP.
The type of treatment that is required is usually determined when an examination has taken place. It is recommended that treatment is received within one hour. In particular, if a tooth has become dislodged or avulsed.
Wearing a mouth guard can ensure a player does not experience a serious injury while on the field of play. In order to provide the most protection, mouth guards should be comfortable to wear and at least 4mm thick. This can reduce impact and protect the teeth from high pressure that often occurs during sports matches.
