Any contact sport comes along with the risk of injuries. Therefore, we can see doctors in the playing fields. However, did you know that dentists can also be on call in case of a dental emergency?

For example, LA Rams football team has their own dentist and Dr. Daniel Elbert is always on the field for every game. Even though football players have a risk of only 10% to have a dental injury. The impacts that players receive during a game can be long term harmful for their teeth.

Based on the Journal of the American Dental Association 13% to 39% of dental injuries are sport related. Accordingly, to this statistic dentists should provide all the necessary information about mouth protective devices.

The use of a mouthguard while practicing any type of sport can reduce the oral facial injuries significantly. In general, the most common injuries are: dental avulsions (which is the displacement of a tooth from its socket); tooth luxation (refers to a trauma that leave a loose tooth due the disruption of the tissues and ligaments); and tooth fractures.
