Ice Hockey and Dental Injuries

Jan 27th, 2023

To say that Massachusetts enjoys its ice hockey is and understatement. The Bruins are in the top five for most Stanley Cups won, Massachusetts is in fifth place in terms of percentage of population registered with USA Hockey, and Boston schools produce a large number of pro hockey players. With all this hockey comes injuries, however, including dental injuries from playing hockey.

As it gets colder and the season of outdoor hockey and skating gets into gear it’s worth being mindful of dental injuries while skating or playing hockey. Make sure to always wear a helmet and mouthguard while playing ice hockey. But even protective gear can’t protect from bad luck and dental injuries happen despite best efforts.

Dental injuries from hockey and skating are similar to dental injuries from skiing. You can refer to a blog post we’ve written previously on what to do if you get a dental injury while skiing. Regardless of the injury, odds are you will need a skilled cosmetic dentist to restore the appearance of your smile.

Dr. Paul Mathew is a cosmetic dentist that’s a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists. His speciality in cosmetic dentistry means that he has the skill required to restore a smile after dental injuries. This include the ability to place dental implants and create beautiful dental restoration covered by his 5-year warranty. For patients that are fearful of going to the dentist he also offers sedation dentistry ranging for IV sedation to oral conscious sedation.

If you live near Newburyport and have suffered a dental injury while playing hockey or skating, don’t hesitate to call Artisan Dentistry for a dental consultation with Dr. Paul Mathew.
