Abstract
Can regular exercise and sport ever become too much of a ‘good thing’? With regard to oral health, the two main considerations are cumulative weekly training time and the intensity at which the athlete trains. Studies have revealed a higher prevalence of certain dental lesions amongst athletes who train frequently. Evidently, a positive relationship exists between the time devoted to training and the exposure to oral health risks.
