Dr. Evan Scott Gross: Oral Health & the Athlete

Sinopsis

In this video, I'm honored to have as a guest, my good friend (and my own personal dentist), Dr. Evan Scott Gross Watch and learn as he shares very compelling information regarding the importance of good oral health as it pertains to the athlete & active person. Of course, much of this great info applies to ALL of us! In addition, he addresses a multitude of health issues/concerns we should be mindful of, including: * grinding of teeth and how it can lead to TMJ, stress fractures on teeth, broken teeth, and possible flattening edges of the teeth, affecting the ability to chew food . * the importance of wearing a custom made athletic mouth guard (not a stock mouth guard) * the effect of sugary drinks & foods on the teeth (it's WORSE than I ever realized) * every time you sip a sugary drink (or eat a sugary food), there are 20 minutes that the acid level in the mouth goes below 5.5 causing demineralization and tooth decay. * the correlation of poor oral health/hygiene and heart disease! THANK YOU, SCOTT! h
