Some football players at the Academy in England did not leave training due to dental problems, according to a new study that found that three quarters of the participants suffer from gum disease.
I asked the study from researchers at the University of College in London (UCL) 160 players in an academy representing 10 English soccer clubs from the Premier League, Championship and Premier League to respond to a questionnaire on oral health and its impact on sports performance, as well as a clinical assessment by a dentist.
I found that young and female players are more likely to have major problems in tooth decay and oral oral hygiene without football in a similar era.
Dr. Saul Konviezer, one of the authors of the study published in the British Medical Journal, told BBC there to be a “multi -factor” approach in order to deal with the issue, including larger education in cardiovascular issues related to oral diseases and routine care for players.
“We feel that this is a great opportunity to take this evidence so that we can advise and support medical teams in clubs,” he said.
“I think it is an opportunity for sports bodies to take action – we do not want the health of negative teeth to affect sporting performance. There should be a greater understanding that the mouth is part of the body.
“We had players in shows complaining about dental pain and gums, saying they were unable to train at some points due to dental infections. Once there was a shock, there can be constant problems, including their ability and willingness to compete.”
The factors that were identified include bad hygiene habits such as brush deficiency and thread, high levels of sugary sports, consumption of soft drinks, and tension – perhaps due to a high -performance environment – which can cause tooth grinding and lead to decomposition.
The study also indicated that some cases of dental erosion were associated with stomach acids, as dental shows reveal patterns similar to those resulting from acid reflux and even in eating disorders such as pathological evil.
