Abstract

Oral health problems have been reported by athletes to negatively affect their performance, therefore improved oral health has the potential to enhance performance. Reduced performance due to poor oral health is unacceptable and preventable. A rapid literature review was undertaken. Oral diseases such as caries, erosive tooth wear and periodontal diseases do not present with pain in their early stages, and athletes may delay a dental check or even treatment until they perceive a problem. Oral health promotion in sport is most likely to be successful if it is embedded within overall athlete general health and performance promotion. Most members of the athlete support team are not experts in this area and therefore specialist input is needed. Regular checks, provided through oral health screening, are important, not only to identify oral diseases at an early stage but as an opportunity to enhance motivation towards a high standard of oral health.

口腔健康检查对运动员的价值。
据报道,运动员的口腔健康问题会对他们的成绩产生负面影响,因此改善口腔健康有可能提高成绩。由于口腔健康状况不佳而导致的性能下降是不可接受的,也是可以预防的。进行了快速的文献回顾。龋齿、蛀牙和牙周病等口腔疾病在早期阶段不会出现疼痛,运动员可能会推迟牙科检查甚至治疗,直到他们意识到问题。在体育运动中促进口腔健康,如果将其纳入运动员的整体健康和表现促进中,就最有可能取得成功。运动员支持团队的大多数成员都不是这方面的专家,因此需要专家的投入。通过口腔健康检查提供的定期检查非常重要,不仅可以在早期发现口腔疾病,而且可以借此机会提高对高水平口腔健康的积极性。
