Kids Dental Insurance, Chemicals in food packaging, fungicides might damage children’s teeth
Early exposure to two chemicals often found in food packaging and fungicides may cause damage to children’s teeth that can never be reversed, a new study finds.
Lead study author Dr. Katia Jedeon, of the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and colleagues found exposure to the chemicals bisphenol A (BPA) and vinclozolin may interfere with hormones responsible for the growth of dental enamel.
The researchers recently presented their findings at the 2016 European Congress of Endocrinology in Munich, Germany.
