Sports dentistry is an emerging field of pediatric and preventive dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of sports-related orofacial injuries. With the increasing participation of children and adolescents in sports activities, dental trauma such as tooth fractures, avulsion, soft tissue injuries, and jaw fractures has become increasingly common. Preventive strategies, especially the use of custom-made mouthguards, play a vital role in minimizing the risk and severity of these injuries. Sports dentistry also emphasizes athlete education, emergency management of dental trauma, and the promotion of oral health for improved athletic performance and overall well-being. Recent advancements such as smart mouthguards, digital dentistry, and advanced biomaterials have further enhanced the scope of this specialty. Timely intervention, awareness, and preventive care are essential in protecting athletes and preserving their oral health and smiles throughout life.
