Abstract:
An online readers survey was conducted for this special issue on sports and oral health. Ten questions were distributed to readers and other dental care providers via the NTVT website, in the journal, in the newsletter and on NTVT social media. The aim was to gain insight into their opinions on the orodental risks of sports, and their experiences of providing oral care following sports-related dental injuries. A large majority of the respondents had been consulted at least once a year for sports-related dental trauma. Hockey was cited as the sport where this trauma was sustained most often. About half of the respondents had replanted an alvused tooth at least once. The results are summarized in an infographic.
