1. You can't brush off sports injuries
The most common dental trauma is a fractured or lost tooth. Dental trauma can occur due to various reasons such as participation in contact sports, motor vehicle accidents, impact to the face, falling, or accidentally biting on hard objects. If your tooth has been knocked out, do not throw it away. Clean any dirt on the tooth, put it in a container with milk or your own saliva, or push the tooth back into its socket if you can and rush to the dentist as soon as possible. Some risky activities or contact sports can make you more susceptible to accidents that cause dental injury, so it is best to wear a mouthguard for protection.
