Description
Juliana Goncalves and co-authors test whether secondhand smoke harms developing tooth enamel in a 2026 animal study. Children exposed to smoke at home cannot report or avoid it, and enamel forms only once. The study asked whether early-life exposure changes enamel quality and quantity.
Wistar rat pups were split into control and exposure groups, the latter receiving cigarette smoke twice daily for five minutes from day two to day twenty-eight of life. Growth was tracked by weight and length, and enamel was examined for morphological change. Damage in this model would strengthen the case for smoke-free homes around infants.
