Alpharetta GA – July 31, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
Healthy Smiles of Georgia is pleased to announce the release of an article on the topic of sports dentistry. Similar to the health care system, there are a variety of specialties within dentistry. There are specialists who focus solely on providing root canals or oral surgery. Some dentists choose to specialize in gum health, while others want their primary focus to be on pediatric dentistry. There is another specialty not many people know about. It is called sports dentistry and it is vital to anyone involved in sports.
A sports dentist helps athletes to prevent dental damage while they are engaging in their sport. The dental specialty is typically practiced by a general dentist or pediatric dentist. Another part of their job involves treating athletes who end up with a dental emergency. A sports dentist, like Healthy Smiles of Georgia, can help with almost any dental emergency which athletes encounter. They can also help athletes prevent injury in the first place.
The most common dental injuries include broken or fractured teeth, a tooth which has been knocked out, or soft tissue damage such as biting the tongue or cheek. Contrary to accepted belief, the patients of most sports dentists are not just boxers or football players. Those athletes who participate in contact sports need a sports dentist, but other athletes are also at risk of injury. Probably the most common dental injury sustained by athletes is losing a tooth. They get bumped in the face or hit by a ball and their tooth breaks or pops out completely.
Preventative dentistry is an important part of what a sports dentist does. Coaches, athletes, and parents are alert to bodily injuries which can occur while playing sports. There are many different types of guards available for protection, including mouth guards and helmets that protect their teeth while playing sports at the same time.
