Abstract

Sports dentistry is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the prevention and treatment of sports-related orofacial injuries. These injuries can range from minor, such as tooth luxation, to severe, such as facial bone fractures and concussions. The most important way to prevent sports-related dental injuries is to wear a mouthguard. Dentists play a vital role in managing dentofacial injuries due to sports. Thus, sports dentistry is an important field that can help athletes of all ages and skill levels enjoy their activities safely. By taking steps to prevent sports-related dental injuries, athletes can protect their teeth, gums, and overall health. Sports dentistry can help to reduce the cost of dental care in the long term.
