Kids’ Dental Health Related to Mom’s

June 23, 2010 By Julie Frey 1 Comment

Mothers with untreated tooth decay are twice as likely to have children who do too.

That's according to a new study that was published in the Journal of Dental Research. Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco looked at the oral health of 179 mothers and 389 children.

This highlights the role of parental dental health in pediatric dentistry. In addition, parents may be more likely to treat tooth decay and gum disease if they realize it may negatively impact their children's dental health.

Yeah Julie, I have also read that news. It’s true that Dental and oral disorders can have a profound impact on children, and the burden of untreated dental health problems is substantial. Untreated dental decay (cavities) can result in pain, infection, tooth loss, difficulty eating or speaking, and poor appearance, all of which present challenges for maintaining self-esteem and attentiveness to learning.
