Protecting Your Teeth During Summer Water Sports

Warm months bring more time at lakes, pools and the coast, and for many people that means surfing, paddleboarding, wakeboarding or simply swimming. Packing the right gear, from boardshorts to sunscreen, is part of the routine, but your teeth deserve a place on the checklist too. Water sports carry some specific risks for oral health that are easy to overlook.

Impacts and chipped teeth

A loose board, a fin or an unexpected fall can knock against the mouth with surprising force. Chipped incisors are among the more common injuries in board sports. If you take part regularly, ask your dentist whether a custom-fitted mouthguard makes sense for your activity. If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root, keep it moist (in milk or your own saliva, not tap water) and seek dental care as quickly as possible. Fast treatment greatly improves the chance of saving it.

Pool chlorine and enamel

Swimmers who spend many hours in chlorinated pools sometimes notice brownish staining or increased sensitivity. This happens when pool water chemistry is not well balanced and enamel is exposed over long periods. Regular professional cleanings can remove surface stains, and your dentist can suggest ways to manage sensitivity.

Sun, dehydration and sugary drinks

Long days outdoors often go together with sports drinks, soft drinks and ice lollies. Frequent sipping of sugary or acidic drinks keeps teeth under constant attack, especially when a dry mouth reduces protective saliva. Water is the best choice between sessions. Do not forget your lips either: a lip balm with sun protection helps prevent burns and cracking.

Before the season starts

A check-up before a holiday or a busy sporting season lets small problems be dealt with at home rather than abroad. You can read more about routine visits on our patient information page, or arrange a visit through appointments. If an injury does happen, our treatments overview explains the options for repairing damaged teeth.
