Brett Dorney, BDS, FRACDS, Sports Dentist, Pymble
Corporate Centre, 20 Bridge Street, Suite 304, Pymble, NSW 2073 Australia, PO Box 5,
Pymble NSW 2073, 61-2-9488-7555, Fax 61-2-9488-7317, E-mail: bdorney@bigpond.com "Please share any of my
Olympic experience with your audiences. |
| Athletes have little say in their Medical let alone Dental
health. This was so evident at the (Sydney) Olympics . Certainly the mouthguard program
was a great success but the effort was massive and required a lot of promotion. Many of
the Olympic athletes had dreadful Dental health. So many would have endured
terrible pain and still competed. Obviously not as well or successfully and this is the
key!! Athletic skills last such a short time and all body systems should be at the optimal
health to achieve that personnal success that each athlete strives for. Toothache and
infection does not have a timetable. It has been an amazing year for mouthguards
and Sports Dentistry in Australia. Unfortunately , a lot of sporting Dental injuries but
also some incredible trauma cases testing our teams knowledge and skills. Lecturing is fun
and rewarding. I believe too few Dentists look at Sports Dentistry seriously even though ,
as we have shown , it will build your practice and allow you to play a significant role in
your local sporting community." Dr. Dorney is a Fellow of the International Academy
for Sports Dentistry. |
