How poor oral health can affect performance and availability
What poor oral health costs you
Pain and sensitivity
No. Dentadurance is free from alcohol, essential oils, and antiseptics. Excluding these harsh ingredients makes our solution safe to use multiple times per session and throughout the day. Dentadurance is also pH-balanced to help athletes maintain a healthy oral biome.
In comparison, most mouthwashes are acidic and/or contain harsh ingredients. This limits their use to once or twice per day to reduce the risk of irritation and other adverse effects. Unlike Dentadurance, standard oral care was never designed for athletes.
Sleep
Dental pain doesn't switch off at night. Disrupted sleep affects recovery, reaction time, and mood the next day.
Fuelling itself

What Industry Leaders Are Saying:
"We've seen football players who didn't take care of their teeth develop problems, miss games and in some cases even miss international tournaments. When the pain is there, it's already too late."
Fabian Hürzeler
Head Coach, Brighton & Hove Albion FC
"[Something as basic as a painful cavity] is going to affect athletes' sleep, their nutrition because they won't be able to eat everything they want to eat, and their recovery because they're not sleeping well and they're not hydrating well."
Sergio Lara‑Bercial
VP Strategy & Development, ICCE; former Team GB coach
What fuelling actually does to your teeth

Fuel
Gels, sports drinks, bars and juices deliver the carbohydrate your session needs.
Why athletes are a different risk category
Standard Curve
CRITICAL PH
The Stephan curve maps how oral pH drops after eating and how long it takes to recover. Non-athletes recover within 20 to 40 minutes.
Athlete Stephan curve
CRITICAL PH
Athletes fuelling every 20 to 30 minutes, with reduced saliva from exertion, don't get that recovery window — instead of brief dips, they can spend hours below the critical pH where enamel actively demineralises.
