The dentition is established and formed during the period of intrauterine development. At birth, the baby has no teeth, but has the beginnings of both temporary and permanent teeth, which grow according to the timing of eruption. The nutrition and dental care during pregnancy affects the quality of these “germs”, which only assume their full function some years later. Nutritional deficiencies and lack of products rich in calcium, fluoride and magnesium in the diet of the expectant mother may cause dental health problems in her baby. In such cases, the baby most often has an insufficient saturation of hard tissues with minerals, loose tooth enamel, “milk” tooth decay and other pathologies.
