dc.description.abstractGood oral health of mothers is essential for their overall health and that of their young children [1, 2]. A mother’s oral health, oral health knowledge, oral health literacy, attitudes, behaviors, and socioeconomic status infuence children’s health; they are important determinants of childhood caries. Thus, the life course approach focusing on cross-generational intervention is critical [3–10]. Previous research has demonstrated that untreated dental caries in mothers can lead to a higher risk for dental caries in young children [3, 11–15]. There is also a potential association between periodontal (gum) diseases during pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes [9, 13, 16–25]. Future research needs to defne this association as current results are mixed [26–30].
