  1. Helpful Dental Health Care Tips for Athletes

  2. Athletes • Athletes may be at higher risk for dental erosion. Ironic as it seems, this is the result of a study conducted by a team of German dental researchers. • Researchers divided participants into two groups - one composed of triathletes and the other are non-athletes. • Average age for both groups is 36 although the athletes were found to have leaner bodies.

  3. Questionnaires Revealed • There was also no difference with their saliva samples when they're at rest. • However, researchers discovered that athletes who spend the most time training were also the ones with most cavities. • Questionnaires also revealed that 51 percent of the athletes consume water during training whereas the rest take sports drinks.

  4. Keep Cavities At Bay • While athletes may be healthier than non-athletes, it's still good to note that dental health is part of overall health. • And there are ways how you, as an athlete, can take care of your teeth and keep cavities at bay.

  5. Here are some important tips:

  6. Drink Plenty Of Water • While you love your sports drinks and there's no arguing too that these drinks are good for athletes, this time, try to rehydrate by drinking water instead.   • Or, make sure to drink water after taking your sports drink. • When in training, chances are sugar from your sports drink will sit on your teeth for long hours. • Drinking water as follow up will help prevent this from happening.

  7. Switch To Less Sugary Snacks • Skip the protein bars and try nuts and seeds for your energy snacks. • You get to stay away from sugar and still feel energized.

  8. Keep An Oral Health Care Kit With You • Don't let yourself make anymore excuses. • Just as you pack your bags before you head out to go hiking, training, or running, be sure to bring as well your toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and your mouthwash. • Don't let your dental health get left behind while you are making an effort to keep your body healthy.

  9. Always Brush Your Teeth • Just as you take a shower or change into fresh clothes after a long day of working out, make it a habit to brush your teeth as well. • Or if it's not possible, at least rinse using your mouthwash.

  10. Caring for Your Dental Health • These four important tips may take some time getting used to, but it will certainly go a long way to keeping your teeth protected from cavities. • Living an active lifestyle is good for your body, but don’t forget that caring for your dental health is also as important. • Brought to you by The Dental Smile Centre. • For more info on family dentist in Bolton, visit site: thedentalsmilecentre.ca
