FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Soccer is the #1 sport of oral health risk.Soccer players have higher risk to develop dental caries and greater potential for oral and dental traumaJune 4, 2005 -- According to Swed-Dent-J (June 1990), soccer players on an elite level seem to have a higher risk to develop dental caries than non-players. Dental caries is associated with frequent use of sugar-containing products. From 1998 to 2003, energy sports drink sales increased 465% (General Dentistry, 09/2004). Some coaches recommend to sip 12-14 ounces of sports drink (30 grams of carbohydrate) 10-15 minutes before a match begins. During all periods of heavy training, soccer player should ingest 9-10 grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight each day (International Journal of Sport Nutrition, 1994). At the same, most dental injuries occurred during the soccer training sessions and matches reaching 41% of the total number of sport's injuries, and affected 6.6% of the soccer players. Only 27% of the participants were aware of the protective mouth-guards, and only 3% actually used these devices (Dent Traumatol, 2003). We developed unique Soccer Player Essential Oral Care Kit to compensate this increased risk. Dr. Aleksandr Melekhin, DDS, PhD, MSD
