Training does not always have a positive effect on the body, sometimes you can suffer from them.
A healthy lifestyle has been in trend for more than five years, which is why the morning of every fashionista now begins not with a large mug of latte, but with a glass of clean water and training. We started going to the gym much more often than to a restaurant or to a party. Many experts believe that this is only a plus, because the body needs physical activity to stay healthy. But orthodontists believe that sports can be harmful.
“Intense physical activity is a risk factor for dental health. Almost one in three cases of dental or jaw injuries occur during sports activities. Dislocations or fractures of the jaw can be especially dangerous, which can lead to pathologies in the formation of teeth. It is worth mentioning about dehydration during exercise, which affects the chemical composition of saliva, in particular, the acid-base balance, ”says Dmitry Likhodzievsky, orthodontist at the Eurokappa Clinic.
Recently, girls have been into rather masculine sports such as boxing, martial arts, hockey, skateboarding, and rugby. It is these workouts that put your teeth at maximum risk. “This is due to the fact that these kinds of sports are contact and therefore especially traumatic. In addition, a malocclusion, as a rule, is accompanied by difficulty in nasal breathing, which, in turn, impedes the saturation of the blood with oxygen, which is so necessary during physical exertion, ”comments the orthodontist.
In addition to training, it negatively affects the condition of the teeth and sports nutrition
Doctors claim that energy drinks, isotonic and hypotonic drinks, which contain a large amount of carbohydrates, can cause tooth decay and erosion of tooth enamel. Studies have already been conducted that have revealed a corresponding trend among children and adolescents, which has not yet been confirmed among adult observed patients.
Numerous diets, which all fitonies sin, have a negative effect on metabolism: “The composition and structure of teeth also depend on it. It should also be said that, since caries, periodontitis and gingivitis provoke the multiplication of bacteria in the oral cavity, these diseases can lead to further intoxication of the body and, as a result, to a decrease in immunity. The risk of caries can be reduced if pathogenic bacteria are not allowed to grow in the oral cavity, ”explains Dmitry.
Important factor
During bite correction, it is best to refrain from intense training. “Any contact with the facial area during training can lead to microtrauma to the oral mucosa, scratches, and sometimes even to displacement of the bracket system or its breakage – in this case, you should immediately go to the doctor, since the displacement of the braces can not only interfere with the process of aligning the bite, but also provoke tooth loss.
Therefore, aligners can be an optimal alternative – due to the fact that they are made of an elastic material that does not injure the gums in case of accidental impact, and if necessary, they can be removed independently without visiting a doctor. Aligners will not provoke serious complications in the process of bite correction, ”recommends Dmitry Likhodzievsky.
