The authors say this finding makes it important to assess family oral health in order to properly manage a child&#8217;s oral health.<\/p>\n<p>Other studies have found that parents&#8217; dental health or tooth brushing habits are linked with children&#8217;s dental health. This study appears in the September issue of the Journal of Dental Research. It involved 179 mothers and their children (387 total). All of them lived in a part of rural California that is mostly Hispanic.<\/p><div class=\"bitem-article-desktop-720x300-in-text\" id=\"bitem-2232767738\"><!-- Bite 720x300 [async] -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement(\"script\"); s.async = true; s.type = \"text\/javascript\";s.src = 'https:\/\/servedby.engagemedia.com.au\/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());}<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\r\nvar abkw = window.abkw || '';\r\nvar plc705185 = window.plc705185 || 0;\r\ndocument.write('<'+'div id=\"placement_705185_'+plc705185+'\"><\\\/'+'div>');\r\nAdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(165450, 705185, [720,300], 'placement_705185_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc705185++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedby.engagemedia.com.au', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Before reaching their conclusion, the researchers adjusted their numbers to account for other factors that can affect rates of tooth decay.
