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
- \n
- Dental fractures or cracks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lesions on the gums or lips<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Muscle pain in the lower area of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Stress-related bruxism<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Malpositions caused by unconscious gestures
<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nMost common risk situations:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In the pineapple: mandibular force and pressure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
During rehearsals: unexpected blows<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
Falls: a risk for the little ones<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
Tips to protect your oral health <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Wear discharge splints if you clench your teeth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
2. Consider wearing a custom-made mouthguard <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
3. Regularly check the condition of your teeth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Even if you don'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
4. Controls stress-related bruxism<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
5. Educate the youngest about hygiene and prevention<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
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
