Abstract

In recent years, the argument for warning people against drinking sports drink while exercising is increasingly getting widespread attention. In reality, it causes thirst and a decrease in salivary secretion.  In addition to possibly inducing the onset of dental caries. Also, it is often said that the amount of sugar contained in sports drinks adversely affects health. They are correct theoretically, but on the other hand, athletes need adequate fluid intake during their sports activities. Some athletes also need electrolytes and other nutrients.

When we only focus on the risk of developing dental caries and health concerns, we tend to give athletes the simplistic advice. This being to avoid any drinks containing carbohydrates like sports drink. On the contrary, by offering the athlete a way of minimizing the risk of developing caries when having sports drinks, it is possible to meet the diverse needs of the athlete as the athlete’s entourage. As for the method and support of athlete’s oral health, I would like to establish and suggest them scientifically based on the evidence obtained from each medical institution as a professional dental hygienist specializing in sports dentistry.
