Abstract
Many active patients may experience dental (tooth and jaw) injury while participating in contact sports or other activities. Injuries can range from minor to severe, so it is important to be aware of the kinds of injuries and what to expect in treating them. Although activities are never risk-free, patients and their doctors can take steps to reduce and, more important, to prevent injury.
