Sports Dentistry
A knocked-out tooth is a 15-minute emergency with a 30-year consequence. Mouthguards, protocols and pitch-side readiness.
What this programme is
Dental injury is one of the most common and most under-managed injuries in Indian school and amateur sport. Hockey, cricket, kabaddi, football, boxing and basketball all carry real risk, and almost none of these teams have a dental protocol.
The economics are absurd in our favour: a custom mouthguard costs a fraction of what treating a single avulsed front tooth costs over a lifetime of crowns and replacements.
Every time we run it
- Custom-fitted mouthguards — properly moulded, not the boil-and-bite kind that athletes stop wearing
- A written dental emergency protocol for coaches, laminated for the kit bag
- Coach and physio training on avulsed-tooth management: what to do in the first 15 minutes
- Pre-season dental screening so no athlete goes into a season with an untreated infection
- Pitch-side dental cover for tournaments where we can staff it
- Guidance on sports drinks and gels, which are far more erosive than most athletes realise
Three main hosts
School & college teams
Where the risk is highest and the protocol coverage is lowest.
State & academy athletes
Pre-season screening and custom mouthguards as standard kit.
Contact-sport clubs
Hockey, boxing, kabaddi, rugby and martial arts — the highest-injury disciplines.
Four steps on the ground
Pre-season screening
Every athlete checked before the season, so infections do not surface mid-tournament.
Fit mouthguards
Impressions taken on site, guards delivered fitted and checked.
Train the bench
Coaches and physios drilled on the 15-minute window. This is the highest-value part.
Cover the season
Contactable through the season for injuries, with a defined escalation route.
