Paediatric Sports Dentistry

Authors: Dr.Swetha R K, Dr.Vasanthakumari, Dr.Selvabalaji A,
Format: Paperback | Genre : Sports Science | Other Book Detail

The imperative to write this book on Paediatric Sports Dentistry stems from the urgent need to address the distinctive challenges and considerations in dental care for children actively engaged in sports. This endeavour is fuelled by a recognition of the unique oral health requirements of young children engaged in sports and the potential impact of sports-related injuries on their dental well-being. The existing dearth of comprehensive resources dedicated to the intersection of paediatric dentistry and sports-related oral health issues underscores the significance of this undertaking. By providing a dedicated resource tailored to practitioners, parents, and individuals involved in the care of children and adolescents engaged in sports, the book aims to fill this critical gap. Through its content, the book gives a glimpse of the entire concept of sports dentistry right from its evolution to the current practical aspect. With the escalating interest in sports and physical activities among children, the potential for sports-related dental injuries has risen, underscoring the book's relevance. It aspires to equip dental professionals and caregivers with the knowledge and strategies needed to effectively address this growing concern. In essence, the motivation behind writing this book lies in the commitment to providing a comprehensive, informative, and practical guide evolving field of paediatric sports dentistry.
