Cavities in Babies Linked to Mother’s Vitamin D Levels During Pregnancy

 www.adelbergpediatricdental.com

Expectant mothers please note, a recent study has linked low levels of vitamin D during pregnancy with the development of cavities in babies. Previous studies have also shown that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy can increase the risk of tooth decay.

Published last week in Pediatrics, the study analyzed expectant mothers from an economically disadvantaged urban area. The results showed a direct relationship between low vitamin D levels in mothers and higher numbers of cavities in their toddles, as well as defects in the tooth enamel.

Researchers encourage prevention efforts during pregnancy - either by dietary intake or supplementation with vitamin D. If you are expecting, be sure to discuss with your doctor your vitamin D levels and if taking extra supplements is right for you. You can also maintain proper vitamin D the natural way - by enjoying the sun or choosing foods such as wild salmon, ahi tuna,  mushrooms, and eggs. Reducing your carbohydrate intake also helps reduce the body’s need for vitamin D.

For more information on the study view this article ». And don’t forget how important it is to bring your child to the dentist by their first birthday, or six months after the eruption of their first tooth. Infant oral exams are crucial to avoiding serious dental issues that could result in extensive treatment.

New Year, New Teeth - Importance of Infant Oral Exams

 www.adelbergpediatricdental.com

Before your child is born most parents establish a 'medical home' for the child, but may not understand the importance of a 'dental home' as well.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a child should visit the dentist by their first birthday or six months after the eruption of their first tooth. By establishing a dental home early, you will be more likely to avoid serious dental issues that could result in extensive treatment and even possible sedation.
