Who am I
DR. Gerard anton
I am a Sports Dentist focused on improving performance, athlete availability and long-term health in elite sport environments. My work combines clinical expertise, academic teaching and real-world experience within professional teams, including my role as Team Dentist for Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe.
I graduated in Dentistry from the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC) and specialised in Sports Dentistry through the Faculdade Ibero-Americana de São Paulo (FIASP). I am currently an Adjunct Professor in the Master’s Program in Cranio-Mandibular Dysfunction at UIC, where I also teach in the university’s Sports Dentistry program.
Alongside my clinical and academic background, I bring over 20 years of experience as an endurance athlete, competing at national and international level in biathlon, triathlon, ultratrail and endurance racing. This experience allows me to understand first-hand the physiological, psychological and logistical demands of elite sport.
This athletic background gives me a deep understanding of the real demands, pressures and physiological challenges elite athletes face.
I regularly lecture at universities, professional sports clubs, federations and international symposiums, supporting medical and performance teams in integrating oral health into their performance strategy.

Elite Teams, Professional Athletes & Performance Staff
I work with professional sports teams, elite and semi-elite athletes, and performance staff operating in high-performance sport environments. My approach is evidence-based, athlete-first and designed to integrate seamlessly into existing medical and performance structures.
I regularly travel across Europe and internationally to support teams wherever they train or compete, both on-site and remotely.
