Does Major League Baseball or any professional sports teams carry a team Dentist and/or Dental Hygienist?

I don't see them listed on their medical staff, but do you think they carry them on the road with them for their dental issues, or have a specific office that is just dedicated to serving the team?

I don't know about all pro teams, but I have heard of teams having a dentist on call. The dentist would not travel with the team the way a physician (esp. an orthopedic surgeon) would, because it is so rare to have a dental injury. If you are in Chicago, you would use the Chicago on-call dentist. Again, I have heard of this arrangement for some teams and I can not speak with authority about all teams.
Reply:Most all teams have the own Physician.
Reply:all pro teams have Dr's and dentists in every city that are under contract to the teams and will always be available for them
Reply:A good friend and former employee works for the dentist who attends to the Seattle Seahawks. I don't suppose they are as busy as the detists who take care of hockey teams.
