Factors affecting child dental health - part 1.
J Pak Dent Assoc Jan ;15(1):45-8.

Neglect of child dental health has been considered as a form of child abuse. A number of factors seem to affect the dental health of the children for the worse, which if addressed properly and early enough, can be avoided. The dental health of an individual can be affected as early as the intrauterine life. Other factors such as diet and nutrition, parental dental heath knowledge and their behaviors continue to affect the dental health of the children in the later period of child development. This paper intends to review the available literature on the subject.
