(This podcast has been transcribed to provide a convenient text-based version for readers)
Welcome to this Football Medicine and Performance podcast.
I’m Daire Rooney, an editor for the FMPA and your host for today’s podcast.
Today I’m delighted to be joined by Doctor Saul Konviser. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Saul is a general dentist with a special interest in sports dentistry based in London working to promote oral health amongst the sporting community. He also was a Master’s in International Health Policy from the London School of Economics.
Saul is no stranger to the podcast series featuring back in 2022 when we explored at that time the growing field of sports dentistry and the implications for oral health on training and performance football.
In this podcast, we will discuss how things have evolved in the world of sports dentistry three years on from our last discussion, as well as Saul’s recent research looking at the oral health status of Academy footballers.
