This 2010 ADA News article, “U.S. World Cup team ‘totally dentally ready’”, features the ‘soccer docs’ who supported the U.S. men’s team competing in South Africa as well as past men’s and women’s teams and Major League Soccer.

From the article: “’I think the fact that U.S. soccer has made dentistry a big part of the whole medical program is that these kids are getting evaluated and they’re knowing that they are going to be evaluated so they’re taking care of themselves so that when they’re coming through the training session they don’t have to lose training time because they want to show well for the coaches.'"
