A team of Montr\u00e9al researchers, including Dr.&nbsp;Tracie Barnett&nbsp;of INRS, took a look at schools in Greater Montr\u00e9al to see how oral health was being promoted and what incidence this had on cavity rates in children. Published in the&nbsp;<em>American Journal of Preventive Medicine<\/em>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajpmonline.org\/article\/S0749-3797(17)30381-1\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">this study<\/a>&nbsp;concluded that prevention programs are important, but that school food environments play a leading role in the appearance of cavities in kids ages 8 to 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food choices in and around schools vary greatly and affect the general health of children. It\u2019s an environment often carefully observed to understand its impact on obesity prevalence, but rarely in relation to cavities. The data gathered for the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etudequalitystudy.ca\/index.php?lang=fr&amp;p=1&amp;mid=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">QUALITY study<\/a>&nbsp;(family study on the prevention of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes in kids and teens) was ideal for verifying children\u2019s dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a period of two years, the research team analyzed various factors affecting 330 students at 200 schools, including socioeconomic factors, school food environments, and cavity prevention programs. According to their findings, programs promoting healthy eating and good dental hygiene had a positive but relatively modest impact compared to children\u2019s food and socioeconomic environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because cavities remain a public health concern, the researchers suggest making this component part of health promotion programs alongside obesity.&nbsp; Policies promoting healthy eating environments could have a greater impact on children\u2019s oral health than school programs run in isolation to encourage kids to take good care of their teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something endearing about the crooked, gapped-tooth smiles of children whose permanent teeth are coming in.
