A fifth of athletes surveyed said their oral health actually damaged their training and performance. The study，published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine，suggested cavities(蛀牙)，tooth erosion and gum(牙龈)disease were common. Researchers said athletes，as a group，had worse dental health than other people of a similar age. The happy smiles of gold-medal winners Usain Bolt，Jessica Ennis-Hill and Mo Farah are some of the defining memories of London 2012. But a team at University College London says many competitors had dental problems. Professor Ian Needleman，the lead researcher，said eating large amounts of carbohydrates regularly，including sugary energy drinks，was damaging teeth. He added that the stress on the immune system from intense training may leave athletes at risk of oral disease and that a concentration on training and preparation leaves little time for awareness of their oral health. The study looked at those visiting the dental clinic at the Games，which offered free check-ups and mouth guards. Competitors using the clinic may have been more likely to have dental problems than other athletes.But the research group says their findings are consistent with previous studies. Of the 302 athletes examined，from 25 sports，55% had evidence of cavities，45% had tooth erosion and 76%had gum disease. One in three said their oral health affected their quality of life and one in five said it affected their training or athletic performance. Oral health is already a suspect in other seemingly unrelated conditions，such as heart disease.People who do not brush their teeth twice a day are at higher risk of a heart attack，and inflammation(炎症)is common to both. The researchers suggest inflammation elsewhere in the body may also affect recovery time
