Abstract
The field of sports dentistry mainly deals with the prevention and management of sports-related to maxillofacial trauma. There are many potential challenges to the oral health of athletes including exercise-induced trauma, dental decay due to specialized diet, lack of awareness, oral dehydration and lack of prioritization for dental care. However, there is good evidence that some oral diseases are preventable by simple interventions with good efficacy. Hence dentists today must respond to these patient's specialized needs, providing them with the quality of care that they deserve. In this review article, we discuss the various preventive aspects of sports-related injuries and the impeccable role of dentist in preventing and managing the sport-related oro-facial injuries.
