Sports Dentistry Q&A

Sports dentistry focuses on preventing and treating injuries affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues caused by athletic activity. Typical concerns include:

  • Fractured or knocked-out teeth

  • Jawbone injuries

  • Lacerations to lips, cheeks, or tongue

  • Damage to dental roots

  • Pediatric dental emergencies from sports accidents

Whether you need a preventative mouthguard or urgent treatment after a sports-related injury, Nova Dental is your local expert serving Paxtang, Steelton, and surrounding areas.

Mouth and facial injuries are among the most frequent issues in sports. Sports dentistry plays a vital role in:

  • Preventing tooth fractures and loss

  • Providing custom-fitted mouthguards for maximum protection

  • Offering advice on maintaining oral health during rigorous activity

  • Lowering the risk of lasting dental damage

If you or your child participates in contact sports like soccer, basketball, hockey, or martial arts, wearing a well-fitted mouthguard is critical. Our dentists in Harrisburg and nearby neighborhoods provide personalized protective solutions to keep your smile safe during every game.

Dental injuries can be sudden and stressful. Knowing the right steps can help save your smile:

If a permanent tooth is knocked out:

  • Handle the tooth by the crown, avoiding the root

  • Rinse it gently with water (avoid scrubbing)

  • Attempt to place it back into the socket or keep it inside your cheek

  • If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saline solution

  • Contact Nova Dental immediately for emergency care

If a dental crown, bridge, or veneer is damaged:

  • Collect any fragments carefully

  • Rinse and store them in a clean container or foil

  • Call our office promptly to arrange urgent care

Nova Dental provides quick, reliable emergency dentistry for athletes throughout Linglestown, Rutherford, Progress, and nearby areas. You can trust us to protect your oral health on and off the field.
