THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISING
Routine exercise has many known benefits:
Increased fitness
Improved health
Prevention of systemic diseases
Sense of wellbeing
Increased self-esteem
Physical activity can have an impact on oral health.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ORAL HEALTH
A recent review of the literature revealed that competitive athletes do not have proper oral
health:
Injuries: 14-47%
Caries: 15-75%
Dental erosion: 36-85%
Periodontitis: 15%
5-18% of athletes recognise that oral health problems may have had a negative impact on their
athletic performance.

THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON ORAL
HEALTH
Psychomotor- and performance-related factors influence periodontal health 2.
Poor aerobic capacity, foot balance and reaction are associated with inferior periodontal
health.
EXERCISE ORAL HEALTH. BENEFITS
Obesity may be a risk factor for periodontitis1.
Persons with lower BMI and higher oxygen consumption have better periodontal health.

Protection against excessive inflammatory response in periodontitis3.
Exercising during leisure time is associated with lower inflammatory markers.
EXERCISE ORAL HEALTH. BENEFITS
Stress reduction3,4
Playing sports during leisure time reduces stress and
protects against its harmful effects. Stress is considered
to be a risk factor for periodontal disease.
Improved glycaemic control in diabetic patients1,2
Both aerobic exercise and resistance training improve insulin action and glucose control. Poor
glucose control in diabetic patients may assist in the development of periodontal disease.

EXERCISE ORAL HEALTH. RISKSDental fractures
Injuries from sports components (floor, racket, wall, etc.)
BruxismCommon, due to the stress many athletes undergo
XerostomiaConsequence of intense exercise and mouth breathing, which can also cause temporary bad breath
CariesThe high sugar content of sports drinks, as well as the usual carbohydrate-rich diets of athletes and
decreased saliva from xerostomia
Tooth sensitivityFrom enamel erosion caused by:
- the acidity of isotonic or energy drinks and soft drinks - bruxismo- teeth coming in contact with chlorine (swimmers)
THE EFFECTS OF ORAL HEALTH ON EXERCISE
ORAL HEALTH EXERCISE. RISKSSystemic inflammation resulting from periodontitis
May increase the risk of having other conditions and could worsen athletic performance
Malocclusion and bruxismOverloading jaws and transfer of tension to neck and back - muscle
contractures
Bacteraemia resulting form oral infectionsInfection may cause fatigue
Inadequate chewingSlower digestion and reduced energy power in athletes
Dental injury or painInferior athletic performance (and reduced quality of life)

RECOMMENDATIONS
Prevention solves most oral problems
Importance of changing habits that are harmful for oral health and long-term compliance with these. This may require professional help.
The use of mouthguards prevents dental fractures
Proper hydration prevents dry mouth and reduces the risk of caries
Regular dental check-ups dentists and hygienists are dedicated to caring for oral health, and if necessary, to diagnosing and treating emerging oral-related problems
Using a night guard for bruxism
Do not consume an excessive amount of isotonic drinks, limiting them to high intensity exercise.
RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS. ORAL HYGIENEBrush teeth 2 times per day or after meals (night time very important)
After consuming acidic drinks, wait at least 10 min before brushing. A toothbrush should be replaced every 3 months or when filaments appear to be worn
Interproximal hygiene
Daily use of a tongue cleaner
Use of toothpaste and mouthwash:with fluoride to prevent the onset of carieswith antiseptics to prevent gum diseasewith moisturisers or sialogogues (stimulants of salivary secretion) in persons with dry mouth after physical activity
Consult your pharmacist who can recommend the most suitable oral hygiene products for you.
