As per the dental experts at Lincoln Square Family Dental, keeping your teeth and gums safe during physical activity is important for many reasons.
Blunt force trauma from a ball, bat, elbow, or foot, to name a few, can damage teeth and possibly cause soft tissue damage to lips, tongue, gums, and inner cheeks. If left untreated, these injuries can develop into a secondary infection.

By sipping sports drinks during your workouts, you’re effectively bathing your teeth in acid, and in no way is that a benefit to your oral health.
Higher alkalinity and less saliva tended to neutralize the proteins in saliva that help prevent tooth decay, thus increasing the risk of cavities.
While exercising, we often breathe through our mouth, drying up the saliva flow and giving the bacteria in our mouth a great environment in which to grow.
