Study Reveals Impact of Birth Order and Daycare Attendance on Gingivitis Risk in Turkish Young Adults

Posted: November 21, 2024
A cross-sectional study in Turkish young adults investigated the influence of birth order, daycare attendance, and childhood socioeconomic status on gingivitis and oral hygiene practices. Results showed that daycare attendance was significantly associated with better gingival health, while later birth order was linked to a reduced risk of gingivitis. Other factors like sibship size, delivery methods, and breastfeeding duration did not show clear associations. These findings suggest a potential impact of early childhood exposures on oral health outcomes in adulthood, highlighting the importance of considering such factors in oral health management strategies.
