Given my dental background, I was interested to read yesterday that footballers in the English premier league have noticeably bad teeth, this despite the loving care that team support staff lavish on the rest of their expensively acquired bodies. Despite the fact that they do visit the dentist; not the kind of people that don't see their dentist from one decade to the next.
What is it about footballers that does in their teeth? Some obscure reaction to the head being hit with a ball too many times? What about Australian rules football or US rules? Do they have the same problem? Clearly a fascinating field for ploughing by the sports scientists.
PS: I was one of that kind of people for around two decades. Got off reasonably lightly, considering.
