About this Research Topic
Family influence plays a crucial role in a child's overall development, including their oral health outcomes. Family health, oral hygiene practices, nutrition, and lifestyle habits during pregnancy and the first years after can significantly impact the oral health trajectory of their offspring. Understanding and addressing this relationship is essential for promoting optimal oral health outcomes in children.
The primary objective of this Research Topic is to explore the impact of family health and habits on a child's oral health and to identify strategies for prevention and intervention. This Research Topic aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms through which family factors affect the oral health of their children and to develop evidence-based approaches to mitigate any negative effects. By addressing this problem, we can promote better oral health outcomes for children and improve overall maternal and child well-being.
Contributors to this Research Topic are invited to explore various themes related to the impact of family health and habits on a child's oral health. Some specific areas of interest include:
• Maternal oral health during pregnancy
• Association between family nutrition and child dental caries
• Effects of maternal nutrition on child's oral health
• Impact of family oral hygiene practices on child's oral hygiene habits
• Influence of maternal lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption) on child's oral health
We welcome research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical studies, and case studies that provide valuable insights into these themes. Manuscripts focusing on preventive strategies, interventions, and educational programs addressing the impact of family health and habits on child's oral health are particularly encouraged.
By addressing the mentioned themes and fostering a comprehensive understanding of this topic, we aim to contribute to the development of effective strategies for promoting positive oral health outcomes in children and improving overall maternal and child health.
