What Is Sports Dentistry?
Although doing sports provides numerous benefits for human health, athletes may occasionally get hit in different parts of their body during activities. Since the mouth and jaw are the most affected parts of the body while doing sports, sports dentistry activities gain importance.
The impacts of the mandible, maxilla and teeth can cause fractures in the facial bones and jawbones, loss of teeth and damage to oral health. Therefore, amateur and professional athletes who are engaged in sports should apply to sports dentistry services.
​
Our sports dentists are active both in the protection of oral and dental health against traumas that may occur during sports and in the professional treatment of problems to occur. In addition to preventive treatments, post-traumatic mandible and tooth fractures are among the activities of sports dentistry.
Sports Dentistry Preventive Procedures
Protective mouth guards are used to protect the mouths and surrounding tissues of athletes against possible traumas in sports dentistry. Protective mouth guards have the feature to prevent serious injuries to the teeth, lips, cheeks, jawbones or tongue of athletes. Protective mouth guards, i.e. protective athletic mouth guards, can be purchased from places where sports equipment is sold, or can be prepared individually.
In our clinic, we make personalized teeth protector in order to protect the oral and dental health of athletes and to maintain their sports life with minimum trauma
