Description
Indira Devraj, Girish, Sushma, Dutta, and Dhull check teeth and life quality in children born early, in work from 2025. Early birth shapes body and mouth growth in the first years of life. Sweet feeds given at night to boost weight can raise early tooth decay risk for these children.
Dental exams covered one hundred fifty children born preterm at one centre. Most children started tooth hygiene only after age two in the survey. Over half had moderate tooth decay, and a small share had severe decay. Children born a bit later in pregnancy faced lower decay odds than very early births. The authors call for early mouth guidance and long term follow up.
