Broken, chipped teeth. Most may have seen or heard stories about it, but how does it happen? What can you do to prevent it?
Every form of exercise comes with its own degree of risk. You may accidentally sprain an ankle when running, or your shoulder when playing tennis. But broken and chipped teeth? These may sound unlikely, but they are actually more common than you think.
These injuries are also known as orofacial injuries.
What is it?
Simply put, orofacial injuries are injuries occurring on your face. It can be anything from cuts to your lip, to small tooth fractures or chips. It can also be in the form of more serious injuries like Temporomandibular joint (located just below your ear) dislocations or fractures in your mandibular (jaw) and nasal bone. The most commonly injured area will be the upper lip, and the maxillary incisors (front 2 teeth) these make up about 90 percent of all orofacial injuries.
