Family troubles tied to poorer dental health, study discovers
Family oral health may suffer because "noxious" behaviors such as hitting, kicking, insults and threats create an emotional environment that undermines organized routines such as regular tooth brushing or promotes stress eating, according to the study, published in the September issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association.You sir, you have discovered nothing. You even discuss the fact that there is a long history of people making the same observation and assumption as you...
"There's a pretty good history in the [medical] literature of lousy family environments being associated with bad health, so I guess our findings aren't surprising in that regard," said study author Michael Lorber. He's director of developmental research for the Family Translational Research Group at NYU's College of Dentistry.
"We had a really consistent set of findings that the more your partner is nasty to you, the more lesions are on your teeth," Lorber added.
Documenting the obvious and repeating existing dogma is not science.
Lorber noted that in addition to disrupting healthy eating and oral health routines, noxious family environments may also impact the immune system, potentially leading to greater tooth decay.You know what impacts the immune system and causes stress? Infection. Like tooth decay. You are looking directly at the answer and still can't see it.
