Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said:

　　"These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding.

　　"There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train.

　　"There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. "

　　At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.

　　Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.

　　While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.

　　38. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth?

　　A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches.

　　B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players.

　　C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life.
