Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between the timing of a toddler's first tooth emergence and the risk of early childhood caries (ECC).
- The analysis of data from 627 toddlers found that those whose first tooth emerged before 6 months had a higher incidence of ECC compared to those with later tooth emergence.
- Results indicate that early tooth emergence (before 6 months) significantly heightens the risk of ECC, with boys more likely to be affected than girls.
