49.1% of elite athletes have untreated dental decay. 77% have active gum inflammation. 32% say it directly affected their training or competition — and they had no idea why. SmileSport360 exists to close that gap.

Training creates oral health risks that no general dentist is looking for — and that most athletes have never been told about.
This is not an opinion. The biological pathway from gum inflammation to reduced athletic output is documented, cited, and now being acted on by elite sports organisations worldwide.
Chronic periodontal inflammation creates a systemic burden that no training block can fully overcome — until the oral source is addressed.
Every service at SmileSport360 is designed around one question: how does this affect your training, your recovery, and your competitive output?
A general dental practice looks after your teeth. SmileSport360 looks after your performance — and uses your teeth as the access point to do it.
"Gingival health is a performance variable. An athlete with active periodontal inflammation is competing with a systemic handicap their physiotherapist cannot resolve and their coach cannot see."
A MEDUNSA graduate with over 22 years of private practice excellence in Kempton Park — Dr Kholvadia founded SmileSport360 to close a gap he kept seeing in athlete health: exceptional physical conditioning undermined by oral pathology that nobody was looking for. He integrates clinical dentistry, sports physiology, genetic science and biomechanical assessment into a single athlete-centred protocol.
I founded SmileSport360 because I kept meeting athletes training harder than ever — but being held back by oral health problems they didn't know existed. The mouth is not a separate system. It is where the performance conversation starts.
