Poor vitamin D levels during pregnancy linked to tooth decay in toddlers

China Daily  

Download Women's low vitamin D levels during pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of cavities in the teeth of their toddlers, according to a new study from Canada. Robert J. Schroth from University of Manitoba's dental school in Winnipeg and his team wondered whether low vitamin D levels in mothers during pregnancy would also translate into higher cavity rates for their toddlers. Prenatal vitamin D levels were significantly lower in women whose toddlers later had cavities than in women whose toddlers did not have cavities, according to findings published on Monday in the journal Pediatrics. In fact, there was a direct relationship between low vitamin D levels in mothers and higher numbers of cavities in their toddlers.
