And like any demanding physical activity, it carries risks that often go unnoticed\u2026 such as oral injuries. If you are part of a castellera and\/or falconera group in Vilanova i la Geltr\u00fa, this article is for you: learn about dental protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is it necessary to protect the mouth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the focus is often on balance, strength, and coordination, the mouth can also suffer during performances or rehearsals. Muscle strains, strain on the jaw, or minor impacts can cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dental fractures or cracks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesions on the gums or lips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle pain in the lower area of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stress-related bruxism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malpositions caused by unconscious gestures<strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Most common risk situations:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In the pineapple: mandibular force and pressure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The castellers who are part of the base tend to receive a lot of pressure on their necks and shoulders. Without realizing it, they can end up clenching their teeth excessively and forcefully, causing dental wear or joint discomfort (TMJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>During rehearsals: unexpected blows<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rehearsals in closed spaces, rapid movement and close distance between colleagues can cause accidental trips, elbows or falls that impact the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Falls: a risk for the little ones<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stairs or higher floors can also be exposed to falls or sudden movements that affect their dental development if there is no protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips to protect your oral health&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Wear discharge splints if you clench your teeth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a clencher, are part of the lower floors where a lot of weight is held and you have a relief splint, take the opportunity to wear it during rehearsals and performances. Many suffer from jaw tension without being aware of it. At Cl\u00ednica Albiol we can make you a personalized splint to avoid wear and tear and joint injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Consider wearing a custom-made mouthguard&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are exposed to impacts or are an active part of the figures, a custom-made mouthguard offers you safety without compromising breathing or comfort. Nothing to do with the generic ones from pharmacies or sports stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Regularly check the condition of your teeth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you don&#039;t notice any discomfort, small cracks or wear due to friction can go unnoticed. In Vilanova, you can have a quick and complete check-up at our dental center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Controls stress-related bruxism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before an important day or after a tough rehearsal, it is common to clench our teeth more while we sleep. Bruxism can lead to muscle pain and tooth sensitivity. Early detection is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Educate the youngest about hygiene and prevention<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children who are starting to climb need to take extra care of their mouths, as they are in full dental development. Teach them good habits and come for regular checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are you part of a human tower and\/or falconry group? Take care of your smile!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being part of a Vilanova group is a unique experience, but also a physical commitment. Just as you build a pine tree to support a castle, you need to team up with trusted professionals to protect your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Cl\u00ednica Dental Albiol, located in the heart of Vilanova i la Geltr\u00fa, we offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customized mouthguards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discharge splints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete review of teeth and gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimally invasive treatments<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also like to accompany you outside the square.
