Oral Health - Health tips
Weekly tip - Brushing up on oral health
Last updated: Tuesday, May 23, 2006
Most young kids haven't had teeth long enough to have anything go wrong with them. But certain circumstances can increase a child's risk of cavities.

Take action:
Be aware of these risk factors: if a child's mother is still in her teens, it's five times more likely that the child will have cavities by age five; if a child's father has at least one cavity each year, the chances that the child will have cavities by age five more than doubles; if the child's mother doesn't brush her own teeth regularly, it doubles the likelihood that her child will have cavities; and living in a rural area also doubles the chances of a child having bad teeth.
