Regardless of their socioeconomic status, new research has suggested that women who have more children are more likely to lose their teeth.

Parents lacking in knowledge about oral trauma

According to a recent study, parents and caretakers generally do not know what to do when their child loses a tooth as a result of an injury, and this can have a negative effect on their oral health in the future.
