Well now, here’s some interesting news. Supposedly, the more children you have, the more teeth you’ll lose. This article, For women, more children can mean fewer teeth, suggests that this tooth loss occurs across all socioeconomic levels, and possibly due to the higher incidence of gingivitis during pregnancy, avoiding the dentist because of x-rays and/or women neglecting dental care for lack of money or time.
So listen up moms (especially you quiverful moms), take care of your teeth! Get to the dentist for those twice yearly exams and cleanings. Don’t have dental insurance? I did a quick search and found some affordable dental plans for individuals and families!
No more excuses - get to the dentist (and the kids too!). ![]()
